The Shadow War of Hawkman #1

Kicking off DC's four-part 1985 mini-series, this opener launches with a cover by Richard Howell and Dick Giordano that puts both Hawkman and Hawkgirl in full flight against an open sky — Hawkman swinging a spiked mace on a chain while Hawkgirl banks alongside him armed with a pistol, their great wings spread wide over a city rooftop. Writer Tony Isabella teams with artist Richard Howell and inker Alfredo Alcala to bring the winged warriors of Thanagar into a conflict that clearly promises to be anything but quiet. If you've ever wanted to see the Hawks at the center of their own dedicated series, this is exactly where that story takes flight.
