Hawk Hunter

Silver Age British comics had a knack for producing tough, memorable heroes, and Hawk Hunter is a fine example — debuting in IPC's Knockout in October 1962, brought to life by the gifted Argentine artist Francisco Solano López. With only a handful of catalogued appearances spread across Knockout and Valiant, this is a rare find for collectors who love digging into the rich seam of 1960s British weeklies. Hawk Hunter shares those ink-stained pages with a wonderfully colourful cast — Captain Hercules Hurricane, Brett Blade, the roguish Jack O'Justice, "Maggot" Malone, and Moll Moonlight — the kind of company that tells you everything about the rollicking, pulpy world he inhabited. A character this scarce, from a landmark Silver Age publisher, is exactly the sort of gem that makes flipping through old British comics so rewarding.
