Hawkworld, Vol. 1

Book One: Flashzone. Thanagar is really two worlds. There's the world of the Towers, where the native born rulers of the conqueror world live in opulent decadence. Then there's the Downside, where millions of cast-off aliens live lives of desperate poverty and fear of the Wingmen, the winged police of the ruling class. Among them is Ensign Katar Hol, son of the world's most respected scholar and statesman, collector of Thanagarian artifacts...and the man destined to one day become...Hawkman. But before that day comes, the native police officer will have to uncover the harsh realities of Thanagar. A world of racism, drugs, cold existence. A civilization that has enslaved other worlds and other races. A people who have forgotten and abandoned their legends. Written and pencilled by Timothy Truman, inked by Alcatena, and painted by Sam Parsons. Painted cover by Truman. Prestige Format. Cover price $3.95.
