  The day was March 15, 2018. That was an exciting day in the history of Hawkman. Washington Post announced the return of our favorite winged wonder. It was going to be written by Robert Venditti and drawn by Bryan Hitch. It was the beginning of a wonderful adventure that lasted almost three years. Hawkman Twitter blew up that day, with many Hawkman fans talking about the new series that was announced. Even Venditti and Hitch were surprised by the reception the news received. 

During the Golden Age, Hawkman Covers Sold Better Than Flash Covers

 During the 1940s, Hawkman was featured in every Flash Comics issue until it ended at issue No. 104. During the series, Hawkman and Flash took turns being featured on the cover for almost the entire run. There is a YouTube channel called Comic Collector Geek, where the collector talks about his vintage comic collection, and he talks about this a bit.

In a video released on October 9, 2025, he talks about how the covers feauring Hawkman sold better than the Flash covers and gives his reasons why. Pretty interesting. It's brief, but it starts at about the 6:15 mark.
