Gardner Fox Picture from Hawkman Day

Greg Fox, the grandson of Gardner F. Fox, sent me this picture of the creator of Hawkman for Hawkman Day! He was also kind enough to say that Mr. Fox would have loved my Hawkman gallery! Very honored.

Flash Comics No. 2 Cover Remake by Prentis Rollins

The first comic to ever feature Hawkman on its cover was Flash Comics No. 2 (cover date: February 1940, actual release date: December 15, 1939). The artist was Dennis Neville. I've always wanted to see this cover redone in the current style of Hawkman so I asked Prentis Rollins a few months ago. I am very happy with the incredible result!

Hawkman Day 2018: Taking Flight

"As I sat by the window I noticed a bird collecting twigs for a nest. The bird would swoop down, pick up the twig, and fly away. I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if the bird was a lawman and the twig a crook!?'"

---Gardner Fox, Creator of Hawkman

Flash Comics No. 1 (Released November 10, 1939)

With Hawkman, Time is Relative

Been thinking about the time theory that Robert Venditti brought up in Hawkman No. 5; the theory of how time is like an ocean, with all the past, present and futures floating on top. For regular people like us, and even most comic book characters, space is accessible. We can stay in one place, or we can go up, down, forward, backward, and side to side. But the one thing that we can't escape from is time. We can't go back or forward, we are prisoners in our own time. Our past selves are there, and our future selves are there. But we cannot access it. We're prisoners of the now, Edna Mode-style.
