Rather than beginning Hawkman #1 with a pedantic introduction explaining the convoluted origin of the ornithological title character, writer Geoff Johns (The Flash) opens the issue in the middle of an action-packed scene. The Accipitridae Avenger crashes through the windshield of a small airplane, goes medieval on a pair of hijackers, and brings the plane down in heroic fashion. Eventually, on page nine, Johns provides an introductory text piece, and new readers can otherwise pick up a few bits and pieces of the Hawkman mythos as the story goes along.

This rendition of Carter Hall, as seen in the pages of JSA, knows of his many past lives and is smitten with his female partner in crime (fighting). Unfortunately for him, this incarnation of Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders) doesn’t share the late Shiera’s love for the winged one, providing plenty of fodder for tense, relationship-oriented conflict in future issues. Adding to the foundation of the series is the introduction of St. Roch, a new pseudo-city in the DC universe. This humid hotbed of corruption, developed in part by James Robinson (architect of Opal City), is basically New Orleans gone bad.

Penciller Rags Morales (Hourman, JSA) provides some of the best art of his career, drawing Hawkman as the bold, brash adventurer that he is. Morales’ style should appeal to fans of Joe Kubert’s Silver Age Hawkman from The Brave and the Bold as well as to those partial to Timothy Truman’s work on Hawkworld. Yes, it’s that good and that timeless.

UK Auction Listings


The postage cost can be found at the top of the listing. This item does not feature in our free shipping for 20 items deal. If this auction comes with shipping costs, they will need to be paid in full.

Please note: due to several buyers overly extending the time it takes to settle their invoices, payments must now be made within five days of winning your first auction. Buyers can still ask for combined shipping for any auctions that take place within this time-frame. You can also still claim the free shipping if you win 20 or more auctions. However, any payments not made after five days of winning your first auction will get an 'unpaid item' case opened against your account.


International Shipping:

This item will be shipped via eBay's Global Shipping Program (GSP). Any items won with GSP settings will be charged by eBay separately. We cannot manually combine GSP invoices. If you win auctions with a mixture of GSP and non-GSP shipping options, you will receive separate shipping invoices that must be paid for individually.  

We Post Worldwide


Please note: Non mainland UK postage destinations often require additional postage charges. Any items that cannot be sent using either Royal Mail large letter or Royal Mail small parcel will incur an additional postage charge. These charges will be calculated based on the exact shipping costs we have to pay for UK postage minus the price it would have cost us to send it to a "free" mainland UK address.

Please wait to be invoiced.

The condition of the comic is the one found in the listing title. We will list our graphic novels based on Ebay's condition requirements, but the new condition options will not apply to single issue titles or lots.
