Disclose Notes: 1) Part 2 of story. 2) Last appearance of the Silent Knight in The Brave and the Bold. He appeared occasionally in later DC stories. 3) The Silent Knight was ret-conned to be Brian KENT, a distant ancestor of Clark Kent. And he was ret-conned as one incarnation of Hawkman because of his hawk emblem. Thus Superman and Hawkman share a common ancestor.
