![]() Rating: - You can't get a sandwich on Thanagar!That title sounds a little like a line from an intergalactic blues song, but it's true. The Thanagarians, an advanced alien race, invented the Internet, anti-gravity metal and interstellar space travel, but they never thought to wrap 2 pieces of bread around a hunk of meat and cheese? It says so right in this book. If I were Hawkman I would have ditched the crime fighting and opened a Subway AND a Quiznos in Thanagar's capitol city. I bet he would have cleaned up. I've always considered ... Read More Rating: - A+ CompliationGardner Fox's stories are well-told throughout this collection of Hawkman tales from the early 1960s, and the artwork by Joe Kubert is crisp and vivid as they are brought to life by the color restoration. It is very amusing to see how demeaning the portrayal of Hawkgirl is by today's standards, even though she was quite ahead of her time when these stories were written. This was a very entertaining read. Rating: - THIS BOOK IS FREAKIN' GREAT!!I have already read this book and LUV it!! The artwork is great and when that pesky asistant [oops] tries to fall in luv with Katar/Carter/Hawkman, Fox does a great job of making Hawkgirl's "voice" LOOK icey! Rating: - Another excellent Archive Edition!Another excellent Archive collection from the folks at DC, "The Hawkman Archives, Vol 1" collects his early appearances from The Brave & The Bold and Mystery in Space. The tales are superior examples of Gardner Fox's blend of sci-fi and superhero. Although a bit repetitive (face it...these are meant to be re-read as single stories, not like the multi-issue sagas of today), but always enjoyable. Check out the "Identi-Card" which is described as a plastic card used to pay for things that automatically ... Read More Rating: - Some of the Best 60s Superhero ComicsThe Gardner Fox / Joe Kubert Hawkman stories are among my all-time favorite comics. Each story contains a different science fiction premise, like most of Fox's stories, but here we also get his two best characters, Katar and Shayera (Hawkman, Hawkgirl). Much of Fox's work suffers from some perfunctory characterization and dialogue, but his Hawk-folks communicate a unique charm that reminds me a bit of the Thin Man films. I don't think there's a more convincing and effective partnership in a married couple anywhere ...
