Hawkman #16
Murphy Anderson's cover for Hawkman #16 (November 1966) delivers an immediately striking image: a winged gorilla clutching Hawkman in a crushing bear hug mid-flight, with a spiked mace on a chain swinging ominously nearby — and Hawkgirl visible in the background, wings spread. The cover teaser promises "Lord of the Flying Gorillas!" and cheekily bills the villain as "a go-go gorilla with a big beat," perfectly capturing the playful energy DC brought to its Silver Age adventures. Gardner Fox's script paired with Anderson's crisp, expressive linework makes this a thoroughly entertaining chapter in Hawkman's 1966 run.
