Description

Hawkman - check
Adam Strange - check
Gigantic birds wearing masks with human faces while shooting laser beams from their eyes - double check

I just couldn't pass up this fantastic title page by Murphy Anderson. I have wanted to pick up an example featuring the Winged Wonder for a while now, but with Adam Strange and the MANHAWKS -- that sealed the deal. I mean c'mon ... that is old school DC at its best (yes, and worst).

Also, feast your eyes on the ink work done in the upper left -- Shayera set against the planet Thanagar looking longingly into a beautiful sea of stars! The color version doesn't do it justice.

MORE LIKE THIS! My favorite DC period. The Shayera cameo on the upper left really makes this sing.

Classic horoscope illustration above and grand barbarian and sxci-fi adventure below! Murphy Anderson's finest work was during this period of time bridging DC to the golden age while pushing forward the artform.

Agree Marcus. Anderson was always known as a good inker for the likes of Gil Kane, Infantino, et al ... but his own fantastic skills as a penciller/inker were on full display during this run in the mid-60s.
