Product Description

Hawk and the Dove #1 - DC Comics, September 1968. First issue of this politically-charged series featuring the contrasting heroes.

This debut issue introduces the dynamic conflict between Hawk (the aggressive, pro-intervention hero) and Dove (the pacifist, peaceful counterpart) as they grapple with a violent situation where Dove refuses to fight. The cover presents the stark ideological divide between the two characters during a period when such political debates dominated popular culture. Script by Steve Skeates with art by Steve Ditko, edited by Dick Giordano, this series became notable for its exploration of opposing philosophies during the Vietnam War era.
