Spacehawk

While "Spacehawk," posted on Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine, certainly has the whole "Space" vibe goin' on; he bears absolutely no resemblance to any "Hawk" I have ever seen.  I do note, however, that this story continues the classic science fiction comic book tradition of the male hero being completely covered in protective clothing, including a mask; while the leading lady is in a low cut, strapless mini-dress that would have been illegal in many public places in 1940.  No complaints, mind you, just noting the fact for the record.
