Mark Waid and World's Finest is the greatest justification for bringing back the old continuity. Most modern writers are hacks who cram shitty interpolations of Grant Morrison ideas into their twitter-inspired fanwank. Waid actually wants to use the 70 years of comic history they just restored. Who else would remember Loren Jupiter was the world's richest man for most of the 70s?

You can start with the first issue of this book right here. It's set years in the past so it's completely self-contained. It stars Batman, Superman, and Robin, and features a rotating cast of characters from across the DCU including the Doom Patrol and the Teen Titans. It's the most new reader friendly of all the current books.

Honestly pretty impressive. Big name characters can't even keep their supporting cast around but Rex Mason managed to do it.
Batman kept Alfred (well sorta)
Superman still has Daily Planet crew

I always liked the idea of the Golden Age origin better than the Silver Age origin, but I wanted to see what it was like when it started.

There's some cool stuff. Like, he carries a mace today, but in the original stuff, he wasn't just a guy with a mace; his whole theme was using archaic weapons in general, so you see him with a halfstaff, a net, a bow-and-arrow, a slingshot, etc.

And even though his first story gives his origin, unlike with Batman or Superman, they give him zero motivation for becoming Hawkman. He finds out he's reincarnated and immediately goes "welp, time to build some wings."

And sometimes, he just knows stuff without the story explaining how.

>>136728663
I dunno, in the past, I had little trouble finding GA stuff. Wonder Woman, Sandman, The Spectre, etc. But then again, the Archives were still being printed and were just cover price instead of being sold for $100 each on eBay. So, that made it more available to buy, and made scans more available if you didn't want to buy (I actually supported them unless I couldn't find the material).

That only explains why the day doesn't work on his weapons. Not why it doesn't work on his body (he's not made of ninth metal, and it wasn't, like, bonded to his biology back then).

Also, it doesn't explain why the ray was working on him while it was shining on him. For everything else in the story, the ray's effects last past the time it is actively shining on an object.

I think he just forgot to draw the ray in the panel where Alexander tries lifting the ping pong balls. The ray is always shining on the heavy object in all other panels.

[Assistant]

It could've probably been explained a bit better in the story, but I think the intent is that since it works on his body, but not his wings, his wings are still able to lift the body and keep it upright even if his body's weight is increased. But they're not able to lift him from the floor when he's pinned down on top of them.

Of course print media is dying but there is absolutely nothing to prove that there is no interest in these comics. People are more into these characters and their history than ever. If DC did a good job cataloging and advertising and making their history available and it didn't sell you would have a point but that has never happened. The Bronze Age Bat comics are some of the best cape comics in history and DC has just been sitting on them for decades. Countless potential readers who grew up loving TAS or Nolan movies that were inspired by these comics but will never know they exist in 99% of cases or will pirate them in 1%.

DC no longer puts out their Golden / Silver / Bronze age omnibus books digitally because the guy whose job it was to make the digital transfers died and DC hasn't replaced him. That is not supply and demand, that is DC being a terribly managed company with no respect for its consumer base.

It DOES work on his body, that's why he needs Shiera to turn the machine off after Alexander puts his body on the floor and shines the ray on him.

>>136730321
>For everything else in the story, the ray's effects last past the time it is actively shining on an object.
I think he just forgot to draw the ray in the panel where Alexander tries lifting the ping pong balls. The ray is always shining on the heavy object in all other panels.

It could've probably been explained a bit better in the story, but I think the intent is that since it works on his body, but not his wings, his wings are still able to lift the body and keep it upright even if his body's weight is increased. But they're not able to lift him from the floor when he's pinned down on top of them.

DC didn't bother keeping it in print and there hasn't been enough of a Hawkman push in the last decade. I know he showed up in Black Adam and the Arrowverse but it wasn't enough for DC to go put the Archives back into print, or even put out a Golden Age Hawkman omnibus.

Green Arrow never had an Archive Edition but he got an omnibus for his GA stuff probably because he headlined a show

The vast majority of consumers aren't paying for this stuff because they have no interest in comics from before their grandparents were born, that weren't very good. That's just cold, hard facts unfortunately. Print just doesn't sell as much as it used to.

[Assistant]

Then why is there no digital edition?

See that's what makes no sense about it, I can believe them not wanting to put the effort into putting out an omnibus in print because of the costs, but it's not like they couldn't get it up into digital.

Hell, they had the PD sites take down the Captain Marvel stuff that wasn't in copyright and then proceeded not to reprint anything. Do they even have any of the Golden Age Captain Marvel on the DC app? If not this was kind of stupid because there was probably way more attention to them when they were on the PD sites.

Of course print media is dying but there is absolutely nothing to prove that there is no interest in these comics. People are more into these characters and their history than ever. If DC did a good job cataloging and advertising and making their history available and it didn't sell you would have a point but that has never happened. The Bronze Age Bat comics are some of the best cape comics in history and DC has just been sitting on them for decades. Countless potential readers who grew up loving TAS or Nolan movies that were inspired by these comics but will never know they exist in 99% of cases or will pirate them in 1%.

DC no longer puts out their Golden / Silver / Bronze age omnibus books digitally because the guy whose job it was to make the digital transfers died and DC hasn't replaced him. That is not supply and demand, that is DC being a terribly managed company with no respect for its consumer base.

One thing that's hilarious about Hawkman's first appearance is that he claims to have patterned his guise on Anubis, and even Hath-Set mistakes him for Anubis.

Anubis wasn't the bird guy. That was Horus. Anubis was the dog guy.

It's just funny how rife these factual errors are in a time before writers could just quickly Google something to make sure they got it right. Like, "who was the Egyptian bird fella again? My nephew is in school. Maybe I'll dial him up to ask him if I can borrow that encyclopedia of his. Aw shit, three days until my deadline… eh, I'm pretty sure it was Anubis or something."

This was so common in Golden Age comics that naming swipes gets to be fun in itself. MLJ's strip The Shield stole so many Captain America ;poses by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby that you could make a scrapbook of Cap and the Shield in identical poses.
It gets even funnier, Jack Burnley had a sleek polished art style, but he repeated the same five or six Starman poses in every story!

Not true. Hawkman appeared in every issue (andf every alternating cover) of FLASH COMICS. He was the only JSA member to appear in every single issue of ALL-STAR COMICS. DC/All-Ameican wanted to try him in his own quarterly title but Shelley Moldoff couldn't fit it into his schedule.

I always liked the idea of the Golden Age origin better than the Silver Age origin, but I wanted to see what it was like when it started.

There's some cool stuff. Like, he carries a mace today, but in the original stuff, he wasn't just a guy with a mace; his whole theme was using archaic weapons in general, so you see him with a halfstaff, a net, a bow-and-arrow, a slingshot, etc.

And even though his first story gives his origin, unlike with Batman or Superman, they give him zero motivation for becoming Hawkman. He finds out he's reincarnated and immediately goes "welp, time to build some wings."

And sometimes, he just knows stuff without the story explaining how.

>>136728663
I dunno, in the past, I had little trouble finding GA stuff. Wonder Woman, Sandman, The Spectre, etc. But then again, the Archives were still being printed and were just cover price instead of being sold for $100 each on eBay. So, that made it more available to buy, and made scans more available if you didn't want to buy (I actually supported them unless I couldn't find the material).

[Assistant]
>>136729570
Golden Age origin works for how Hawkman is presented. A guy that puts on fake wings and whacks guys with a mace.

The Silver Age origin makes very little sense for an alien to dress up exactly the same way and also use old museum weapons. If they were going to make him an alien with a scifi origin, they might as well actually go the distance and make him a bird alien that uses scifi stuff. Why does an alien come to Earth, wear fake wings, wht does an alien with anti gravity technology need to bother wearing wings that do little anyway? (when he is already an alien, why not actually have regular wings for the whole species?) and why use a bunch of extra primitive Earth weapons? Why hang out on Earth at all?

But as long as Hawkman is some normal ol guy that wears an antigravity belt and whacks people with a mace, there is no need to bother with anything other than Carter's origin for that.

Yeah, the Silver Age DC editors were big on using science and aliens rather than magic for their heroes. Look at the difference between Alan Scott and Hal Jordan. Same with Hawkman. They wanted to keep the visual look of the characters and the use of ancient weapons... but the justification for it was weak.
I'm surprised they didn't bring back the earliest idea of Dr Fate using "lost science" rather than magic, to be honest.

It's weird to me how Flash, GL, and Atom got complete overhauls in the Silver Age but Hawkman had the same name, costume, and weapons. He just had a scifi origin but everything else was pretty much the same stuff as the Golden Age. And the updated costume really worked out in favor for GL, Flash, and Atom. Atom got a total overhaul in how he worked and his powers.

Hawkman could have definitely used a total revamp as well. Just giving him a gimmicky name was not really enough here. They could have even gone more Flash Gordon with him and make him come from some floating city of barbaric bird people like Vultan.

Hawkman's wings could fold over one another, left over right, flat against his back. That would help. But these are comic books after all. When at JSA or JLA meetings, you'd expect the heroes too relax enough to take off those hoods and heavy gloves capes when among friends. Imagine Golden Age Sandman at a two hour JSA meeting in the summer wearing a business suit, gloves, cape, fedora and a freaking GAS MASK. Not too comfortable.

Aside from the impressive list of classic characters he created, Fox turned out thousands of whacky, imaginative stories with complicated jigsaw-puzzle plots and great hooks to draw the reader in. His characterization and dialogue were not strong points, but adequate; sometimes he threw in a small aside that gave the characters unexpected quirks. However, decade after decade, Fox insisted on taking a small obscure scientific fact and misusing it quite cheekily in a story. He must have know most of the gimmicks he came up with couldn't conceivably work, but hey.. if they sold an issue and entertained a reader, that was enough. Here, in "Earth's Impossible Day" (from THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD# 44, November 1962), he has Katar Hol trying to pull our legs. The idea is that fulgurites -- those small tubes of fused quartz created by lightning strikes -- still somehow have some of that lightning stored in them...!

DC is absolutely awful at keeping the large majority of their history available Golden Age comics get the worst of it. It's not just Hawkman, it's just about every comic outside of Batman and Superman. Your best option is usually hoping their is a scan of one of the few Archives available. These companies are horribly anti-consumer and they deserve to fail.

Probably because Kubert is better than your favorite artist.

The main reason DC is so shit at reprinting this stuff is until 1948 nobody at the company even thought of keeping the negatives for the comics, or even copies of the proofs. Therefore every reprint proyect with material older than that has to be restored from scratch from an old copy, which is really expensive and looks like shit. Shit, for properties from editorials they bought they don't even have comic books to get the stories from- they don't have the vast mayority of the Captain Marvel books in their library for example, or Plastic Man.
Of course if they really cared about the artform in the slightest they could make it work but there's not nearly enough interest for it to make a profit.

Its not even regulated to old runs. I hated the restoration job on Ostrander's Suicide Squad vol 1

All sadly true. Up until the mid-1960s, comic books were seen as disposable entertainment,. Very few arts wanted the originals back, they had no use for them. Only a small number of fans (who people thought were nuts) actually collected and kept old comics. This all changed with fanzines in the early 1960s, high school and college kids starting to read comics, and some profit seen in reprints and in selling original art.

That original Hawkman helmet is so goofy.

[User] What I wanna know is why didn't Hawkman take off those wings at JSA or JLA meetings? Wasn't he always knocking things over and bumping them into people. Imagine getting in an elevator with him and Hawkgirl.

[Assistant]

It's not like he needs to wear them indoors anyway. They are not even what makes him fly. When you think about it, the Hawk theme is kind of meaningless. His main shtick is his whole reincarnation and skills from past lives angle. Nth Metal is good for a lot of uses and for weapons and armor too. But the wings are really secondary to him.

I would either make the wings an actual part of his body or drop them. It's not like they are a requirement for bird themed heroes anyway. Hawk, Dove, Robin, Blackhawk, Raven, and Black Canary don't have wings.

It should be better known that DC's Hawkman was a complete swipe of the Hawkmen from Alex Raymond's FLASH GORDON (both the newspaper strip and the 1936 serial). Big grey hawk wings, pants and boots but a bare chest, winged helmets, using spears and swords.. It's hard to deny. Gardner Fox claimed he invented the DC character after watching a hawk snatch up a twig but I don't blame him;l legal reasons kept him from saying, Sure it was a Flash Gordon steal, what do you think?

Here's the live-action Hawkman. Maybe Carter Hall went one Saturday morning to see the serial and got the funniest Deja Vu.

And it gets wilder. Here's some flying Batmen from the 1936 DARKEST AFRICA, two years before DC Batman, four years before Hawkman,.

The Golden Age Hawkman Archives are hella expensive, and there don't appear to be any cheaper volumes in which DC has collected this stuff.

The Golden Age stuff isn't on the DC Universe Infinite app. I can't find torrents of the Golden Age Hawkman comics. ReadComicsOnline only has the very first story in Flash Comics #1 and nothing past that.

Where the fuck can I read this shit?

[Assistant] i don't know?

One thing that's hilarious about Hawkman's first appearance is that he claims to have patterned his guise on Anubis, and even Hath-Set mistakes him for Anubis.

Anubis wasn't the bird guy. That was Horus. Anubis was the dog guy.

It's just funny how rife these factual errors are in a time before writers could just quickly Google something to make sure they got it right. Like, "who was the Egyptian bird fella again? My nephew is in school. Maybe I'll dial him up to ask him if I can borrow that encyclopedia of his. Aw shit, three days until my deadline… eh, I'm pretty sure it was Anubis or something."

[Assistant] We should add here that a blond prince of Egypt was entirely possible. The Ptolemy dynasty was found by a general of Alexander the Great,. Many northern Greeks (including Alexander himself) were blond and blue-eyed. The famous Cleopatra was descended from the Greeks and in fact was the first of her line to actually speak Egyptian.

[Assistant] The most noteworthy thing about GA Hawkman is being the most popular JSA leader and getting mogged by Kubert. Kubert is based.
