{"product_id":"spacehawk","title":"Spacehawk","description":"Basil Wolverton is one of the greatest, most idiosyncratic talents in comic book history. Though he is best known for his humorous grotesqueries in \u003cem\u003eMAD\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, it is his science-fiction character Spacehawk that Wolverton fans have most often demanded be collected. The wait is over: \u003cem\u003eSpacehawk\u003c\/em\u003e features every story from Spacehawk's intergalactic debut in 1940 to his final, Nazi-crushing adventure in 1942. \u003cp\u003eSpacehawk is the closest thing to a colorfully-costumed, conventional action hero Wolverton ever created, yet the strip is infused with Wolverton's quintessential weirdness: controlled, organic artwork of strangely repulsive aliens and monsters and bizarre planets, and stories of gruesome retribution that bring to mind Wolverton's peer, Fletcher Hanks. Spacehawk had no secret identity, no fixed base of operations beyond his spaceship, and no sidekicks or love interests. He had but one mission in life: to protect the innocent throughout the Solar System, and to punish the guilty. He was a dark -- yet much more visually playful -- counterpart to Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. \u003cem\u003eSpacehawk\u003c\/em\u003e also includes the character's final and rarely seen Earthbound adventures. As the U.S. became involved in World War II, Spacehawk returned to 20th Century America to join the United States' efforts in defeating fascism, which he does by patrolling the Earth's stratosphere, looking for wrongdoing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack in print again featuring newly designed covers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62085205688690,"sku":"BS-R4W-995501","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/2972\/2226\/files\/9781606995501-HD.jpg?v=1784510899","url":"https:\/\/www.novelpanel.com\/products\/spacehawk","provider":"Novel Panel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
