The Hawk

From 1951 to 1952, Ziff-Davis published just three issues of The Hawk, a short-lived but atmospheric comic that paired writer Ed Silverman with artist George Olesen. The series follows its costumed hero through a shadowy, post-war urban landscape, blending pulp adventure with early Silver Age crime-fighting tropes. Though brief, it stands as a curious artifact of Ziff-Davis’s foray into superhero comics, showcasing Olesen’s clean, dynamic linework and Silverman’s taut storytelling.
