The Hawk and the Dove: The Silver Age Book

The adventures of a superhero duo from the late 1960s are collected for the first time in HAWK & DOVE THE SILVER AGE! One of the most intriguing superhero duos ever star in this new trade paperback. Co-created in 1968 by legendary comics artist Steve Ditko (co-creator of Marvel's Spider-Man and Dr. Strange), the Hawk and the Dove are teenage brothers Don and Hank Hall. Gifted with super-powers by a mysterious voice, Hank became the Hawk and Don the Dove. Embodying the clashing political ideologies of the era Hank aggressively jumped into battling evil, while Don would refuse to fight, often resulting in losses. Along the way, the two attempted to clean up crime on the streets of their home town, face the threats of the gang known as the Drop Outs, took down a group of dangerous escaped convicts, and saved their father, a judge, from the wrath of a man he once sent to prison.
