The month of September 1967 was a month to remember for Hawkman fans. During that month, Hawkman was featured in an animated cartoon for the first time. It happened during the Superman/Aquaman Adventure Hour, a Filmation animated series that ran for 36 episodes in 1967-68. During the hour, there were regular Superman and Aquaman features, along with a feature of rotating DC hero cartoons. Each were about six-minutes long and featured The Justice League, Green Lantern, Flash, The Atom, and of course Hawkman. Except for Superman, this was the first time ever for the heroes to appear in an animated series. During the series, Hawkman had three of his own features and he was also a part of the three Justice League of America cartoons. Let's take a look at the six episodes that started Hawkman's animated career back in the 1960s.
