Green Lantern #24
In "Retour au pays," the Falcon's suspicions about Hawkman's true identity lead to a dramatic confrontation in Midway City, where he publicly reveals Carter Hall as an alien—believing it will clear the way for his own criminal ambitions. The Hawks return to stop him, forcing Hall to finally acknowledge his extraterrestrial origins, though the full truth of his past remains guarded. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life by Dick Dillin with inks by Chuck Cuidera, this 1978 issue features a striking cover by Gil Kane.
