About the series
In this 1964–1968 DC series, Hawkman and Hawkgirl—the alien police officers Katar Hol and Shayera Thal, sharing a dual identity with archaeologist Carter Hall—patrol Midway City in their winged harnesses, blending science-fiction crime-fighting with Golden Age heroics. Guided by the steady hand of writer Gardner Fox and the sleek, dynamic pencils of Murphy Anderson, the series refined the Silver Age take on the Winged Wonder. Its 27-issue run established the Thanagarian couple as a cornerstone of DC’s cosmic and mystery-adventure landscape, balancing aerial battles with the quiet support of Commissioner George Emmett.
