Is Hawkman Scarce? 0

[Phicks]

I collect pretty much all the DC silver age superhero titles, and I look to complete runs in high grade.   I have some lengthy runs, such as all of Green Lantern 1-89 except 7, around 60 consecutive issues of JLA, Batman, Detective, etc.   But I virtually never see silver age Hawkman, and virtually never in raw 8.0 and higher.    I only have 8 issues of Hawkman.  Have I just randomly gone to stores and shows with poor Hawkman selection? Do any of you find Hawkman to be rare compared to the rest of your collection?

I certainly agree that Hawkman books don't show up very often. I think you will see very few posted on IG, unless they are super high-grade. I have a full run of the Hawkman issues: BatB #34 - #36, BatB #42 - #44, and Hawkman #1 - 27. All the BatB issues and Hawkman #1 are all CGC 7.0 or above. As for the rest of the issues, their grades can vary. I don't foresee myself ever getting the urge to upgrade Hawkman #2 - #27.

I am sure I have some extra hawk an, but likely  not high grade as they are my under copies.

Dont forget the Atom/hawkman issue at the end of the Atom run

I don't think any mainstream DC SA book can really be considered to be scarce if grade is not a consideration.

Typically the earlier SA DCs will be much harder to find in high grade.  However, having said that, Hawkman's own title comes up in high grade all the time.  I can remember them coming up on Heritage all the time.  The B&B issues are much harder to find in high grade, but they still pop up periodically.

I always thought Hawkman and Hawkgirl had the coolest costumes, but always seemed to be looked upon as kind of lame as Aquaman was portrayed in the Big Bang Theory.

There is a 9.4 B&B 35 in the current Heritage Signature Auction.

If only Joe Kubert had kept drawing Hawkman... 

Nope - Murphy Anderson's version was much better.
