About the series
DC Comics' 1986–1987 Hawkman series, running 17 issues, reimagined the Winged Wonder and his partner Shayera Thal as police officers from the planet Thanagar, now working on Earth. Written primarily by Dan Mishkin, Tony Isabella, and Denny O'Neil, with art by Richard Howell and Ed Hannigan, the series grounded the classic characters in a gritty, sci-fi crime procedural. It introduced human allies like Captain Stewart Frazier and Whitney Nichols, exploring the tension between Thanagarian duty and Earthly justice. This run matters for its focused, character-driven take on Hawkman and Hawkwoman, offering a distinct tone within DC's post-Crisis landscape.
