Hawkman #17

Hawkman goes helmetless and full-fury on this December 1987 cover, depicted mid-flight with wings spread wide and lightning crackling all around him — a raw, kinetic image penciled by Ed Hannigan and inked by Dick Giordano that captures the Winged Warrior at his most ferocious. The tagline "The Winged Warrior Attacks!" says it all, and the cover's dynamic close-up angle puts you right in the thick of the action. With Dan Mishkin writing and the art team of Hannigan and Don Heck on interiors, "Day of Wrath" promises a charged, hard-hitting chapter in this mid-1980s DC series.
