In "Walk with Me, O' Brother... Death Has Taken My Hand!", Judge Hall’s conviction that an old friend was wrongfully accused of robbery and manslaughter sets Hawk and Dove on a tense investigation. Written and illustrated by Gil Kane, with inks by Wally Wood and lettering by Ben Oda, this 1969 issue captures a pivotal moment where Dove’s pacifist principles are tested after Hawk is critically injured—leading to a shocking, violent act that challenges everything he stands for. The cover, also by Gil Kane, hints at the emotional weight of the story with a haunting, intimate image.
