Notes: Title is taken from the cover. While all other Hawk episodes to date are reprinted from earlier Eisner-Iger syndicated material, this appears to have been done especially for Jumbo Comics and does not appear in the complete "Hawks of the Seas" reprint volume from Kitchen Sink.

Notes: A product of the Eisner-Iger Shop - Hames sees Bob Powell on females. An interesting artist, but Nordling is just a guess. Has a Jack Hearne feel, but probably too early.

Notes: The art style changes after four pages, from okay to poor. Possibly Art Peddy in the beginning??? Comparing Bob Powell art on "Sheena" makes it unlikely that he is here UNLESS this is reprinted from much earlier material.
