Read more about Hawkman (Katar Hol) at: Wikipedia Official Site: D.C Comics Hawkman is a fictional superhero who appears in comic book published by DC Comics. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Dennis Neville, the original Hawkman first appeared in Flash Comics #1, published by All-American Publications in 1940. Several incarnations of Hawkman have appeared in DC Comics, all of them characterized by the use of archaic weaponry and by large, artificial wings, attached to a harness made from the special Nth metal that allows flight. Most incarnations of Hawkman work closely with a partner/romantic interest named Hawkgirl or Hawkwoman. The Golden Age Hawkman was Carter Hall, an archeologist who was the reincarnation of an ancient Egypt prince, Khufu. He and Hawkgirl used the same tools displayed in his museum to fight crime. Like most Golden Age heroes, Hawkman disappeared from print after World War II. In the Silver Age, DC introduced new versions of several characters. The new Hawkman and Hawkgirl were police officers from the planet Thanagar who stayed on Earth to help human police forces, and the Justice League, deal with supervillain.
