1st Julius Schwartz comic book work; 1st Kubert Hawkman
It may not be the best-known comic ever published, but, boy, that cover. One of the most beloved and oft-quoted of classic DC covers, this wonderful image captures, like no other, the sheer delight and joy of the Golden Age of superheroes, forever immortalizing the scrappy, happy ideal reader of the day and his preferred pantheon of heroes. DC collectors go mad for this piece, as practically every character in their stable of giants is plastered across that billboard, perfectly capturing the feel of childlike wonder and awe that these stories evoke. A strong personal favorite of your humble author, this issue also boasts the first time the genius Joe Kubert illustrated the adventures of Hawkman, and the creative debut of the man who would come to define DC like few others, the mighty Julius Schwartz.
