{"product_id":"spacehawk-9781606995501","title":"Spacehawk","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe complete collection of Wolvertons legendary costumed crusader! Basil Wolverton is one of the greatest  most idiosyncratic talents in comic book history. Though he is best known for his humorous grotesqueries in MAD magazine  it is his science-fiction character Spacehawk that Wolverton fans have most often demanded be collected. The wait is over: Spacehawk features every story from Spacehawks intergalactic debut in 1940 to his final  Nazi-crushing adventure in 1942. Spacehawk is the closest thing to a colorfully-costumed  conventional action hero Wolverton ever created  yet the strip is infused with Wolvertons quintessential weirdness: controlled  organic artwork of strangely repulsive aliens and monsters and bizarre planets  and stories of gruesome retribution that bring to mind Wolvertons peer  Fletcher Hanks. Spacehawk had no secret identity  no fixed base of operations beyond his spaceship  and no sidekicks or love interests. He had but one mission in life: to protect the innocent throughout the Solar System  and to punish the guilty. He was a dark  yet much more visually playful  counterpart to Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. Spacehawk also includes the characters final and rarely seen Earthbound adventures. As the U.S. became involved in World War II  Spacehawk returned to 20th Century America to join the United States efforts in defeating fascism  which he does by patrolling the Earths stratosphere  looking for wrongdoing. Back in print again featuring newly designed covers.
