Hawkman #17

Murphy Anderson delivers a wonderfully eerie cover for this January 1966 issue, depicting Hawkman locked in mid-air combat with a sinister raven-masked villain clutching a human skull — a stone castle looming ominously in the background. The cover text sets the scene perfectly: the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe himself is said to haunt Hawkman as he faces the "Ruse of the Robbing Raven!" Anderson's crisp linework gives the aerial struggle real energy, making this a genuinely striking entry in the Silver Age DC lineup.
