Stories

  • Rivalry of the Winged Wonders! · 12.33 pages

    The Hawks return to Thanagar where they make an official report to their chief about their work on Earth. They recount how they recently competed to catch a jewel thief: Hawkman using Earth police methods and Hawkgirl using Thanagarian methods.

  • Master of the Sky-Weapons! · 11.67 pages

    Hawkman and Hawkgirl must stop an ancient and immortal Mayan chief, newly awakened and possessing fantastic alien weapons. CORRECTION: Previous indexer had entered the following: "An ancient Mayan chief was taken by aliens and returned to Earth as an immortal with fantastic alien weapons, and now Hawkman and Hawkgirl must stop him." Chac, the Mayan chief, was never "taken by aliens and returned to Earth". The alien craft, from which Chac stole an immortality serum and various alien weapons, had crash landed onto his domain. See story pages 6-7.
