About the series
Mark Gruenwald’s 1983 Hawkeye series gave Clint Barton his first solo spotlight, pairing the Avenging Archer with Bobbi Morse as Mockingbird in a four-issue Marvel run that balanced espionage and superheroics. With Gruenwald writing and illustrating alongside Brett Breeding and Eliot Brown, the series sharpened Hawkeye’s transition from team player to leading man, while introducing allies like Wendy Conrad and featuring Captain America. Its tight, character-driven story matters as an early, focused exploration of Clint’s identity beyond the Avengers.
