Gil Kane — War And Peace
The Hawk And The Dove #4, March 1969
Gil Kane serves up a fun action page from the original short-lived series of the unusual superhero team, Hawk and Dove. (Created by Steve Skeates and Steve Ditko.)
(Come to think of it, all of the Hawk and Dove series have been short-lived.)
I’m not typically a fan of Sal Trapani’s inks on Gil’s pencils, but credit where credit is due: Sal creates an amazing illusion of shine on that tile floor on the original. I’m not sure I’ve seen anything quite like it.
Separately, on a slightly more critical note, apparently it’s no big deal that Hawk might have destroyed an original masterpiece based on the next few panels… WTH?
Welcome to Day three of the 12 DC Days of DeCember.
