The brilliant run of 61 issues of Sheldon Moldoff’s Hawkman art has reached its finale – along with it an end of what I consider to be the first phase of the Golden Age of Comics.

The gangsters are set aside for a fantastic story of men from Saturn preparing for their invasion of Earth. Fox’s eloquent story foreshadows much of his work to come during the Silver Age of Comics.

Joan’s great idea for Jay to become a Magician to aid sick kids leads to more trouble then they counted on.
