The scaffolding of the house of ideas saw Darkhawk emerge as a cult favorite 90's Marvel character that the internet wants to convince you of his imminent debut in the MCU with rumors of deleted end credits scenes, Darkhawk-eye, comics speculation, etc.  Ahead of his time and great for all time, Darkhawk's legend begins here.

What Marvel reader from the 90's didn't own a copy of this book?  Manley did a great job on the Darkhawk series along with the Knightfall era of Batman.  Great acquisition.

I did not own a copy of the book. Was it any good?

You sir, have become the closest thing I believe to a real life Shaft (Richard Roundtree version).

Beautiful! Clearly, all the time Manley spent with Al Wiliamson had a tremendous influence on his art at this time!
