Spacehawk [Halloween ComicFest 2012]

Basil Wolverton’s Spacehawk is a vintage sci-fi adventure strip originally serialized in the 1940s, here collected for the first time by Fantagraphics as a 2012 Halloween ComicFest special. Featuring Wolverton’s singularly grotesque, rubbery art style and his signature brand of weird, violent space opera, the series follows the helmeted hero through bizarre alien landscapes and moral dilemmas. This one-issue release serves as a compact introduction to Wolverton’s influential, off-kilter vision, preserving a cult classic that bridges Golden Age comics and underground comix sensibilities.
