The Hawkman 4 that should have been

[Iksar]

I'm always interested in hidden gems in the comic collecting world. Certainly one book that comes to mind is Hawkman 4 which features the first appearance of magician/babe Zatanna. But, when you look at the cover, she's not even featured. So I was playing around at work today, and mocked this one up using Murphy Anderson's classic splash page as the cover.

 

 

 

Just think what this book would be worth with this iconic image as the actual cover.

 

Anyone else have any ideas of "covers that should have been"? I had fun doing this one, and would like to try another... Thoughts?

That's pretty cool but being a marvel zombie, I don't know what hawman4 looks like

 

Can you post that for comparison?

Here it is for comparison. The original cover is classic Anderson, but I'm trying to showcase the highlight of that issue.

 

Come to think of it, when was Zatanna's first cover? JLA?

[Iksar]

Not silver age, but you get the idea what I'm talking about.

well, if you're gonna make one up, use the Zantanna from Smallville

My hawk man 4 is at CGC right now. Hoping 8.0+. I'm putting a copy of your mock cover in the bag. Thanks

I messed around with another one. I went with the splash page, which isn't the greatest. But it's from the correct issue.

That's fabulous! And much better than the actual cover used.
