The Golden Age Hawkman stories are some of the more out-there 1940s superhero stories I've read. Hawkman fights a lot of mad Russian scientists, necromancers, alien invaders, and lost civilizations. And his love interest, Shiera Saunders (who later becomes Hawkgirl) is one of the stronger, more proactive women sidekicks in Golden Age comics. (She's actually more interesting than Carter "Hawkman" Hall, who always seems a bit stiff. I wish she'd been the main protagonist all along.)

This is the one superhero I dropped from my Golden Age Read-a-thon, because of the material being bad on so many levels. This is not something that should be consumed by modern audiences. I don't get how Gardner Fox went so wrong here, while I enjoy most of his other works from the time.
