Commander James Hawkins

Stepping into the cockpit of Modern Age comics with a 2004 debut from Devil's Due Publishing, Commander James Hawkins makes his mark in the pages of Voltron: Defender of the Universe, the beloved franchise's comics incarnation brought to life by the creative team of Dan Jolley, Marie Croall, Mike Norton, and E.J. Su. With only five catalog appearances, Hawkins is a rare find — a compact presence in a universe populated by fan-favorites like Lance McClain, Hunk Garrett, Allura, Pidge Stoker, and the menacing Prince Lotor — and the fact that one of those appearances carries key-issue status makes tracking him down all the more rewarding. For collectors who love the intersection of nostalgia and fresh storytelling, this is exactly the kind of character that rewards a deep dive into Devil's Due's ambitious run with the Voltron license.
