~ Hawkman first appeared in Flash Comics #1 (1940), and was a featured character in that title throughout the 1940s. This Hawkman was Carter Hall, a reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian prince, Khufu, who had in the modern day discovered that the mysterious "ninth metal" could negate the effects of gravity and allow him to fly. He donned a costume with large wings to allow him to control his flight and became the crimefighter, Hawkman. An archaeologist by trade, Hall uses ancient weapons from the museum of which he was curator in his efforts.~ hi gang, i just had to try this 'specially after meeting sharby and carlos taylor.sharby is the creator of the helmet i used here.carlos did a hawkman piece that inspired me to the max (not to mention he lives in my hometown). thanks to both gentlemen.you rock dudes ! anyhoo i guess you could say this character is a wip.i kinda 'winged' it on the design working mostly from memories of the character from my comic haydays.it's been ages since i read anything with him in it save smallville and some really good images of him.you can bet i'll be studying up before i do another piece. enjoy :) *till the dragon flies again,hugs and regards*, lee
