HAWKWORLD Set Volumes 1-3

This three-issue limited series, written and drawn by Timothy Truman and inked by Enrique Alcatena, was published in 1989. The ongoing series lasted for four years (1990–1993) and included 32 issues, along with 3 annuals. Based on the high sales and interest level generated by this limited series, it launched as an ongoing monthly book. Timothy Truman contributed to the plotting of the first six issues, which were scripted by John Ostrander. Ostrander was the sole credited writer for the remainder of the series. After the Hawkworld ongoing series ended in 1993, a new series simply named Hawkman (vol. 3) picked up the storyline and ran from 1993 to 1996. Ostrander wrote the first six issues of this new series, tying up some dangling plot threads from Hawkworld. Book One: Flashzone. Thanagar is really two worlds. There's the world of the Towers, where the native-born rulers of the conqueror world live in opulent decadence. Then there's the Downside, where millions of cast-off aliens live lives of desperate poverty and fear of the Wingmen, the winged police of the ruling class. Among them is Ensign Katar Hol, son of the world's most respected scholar and statesman, collector of Thanagarian artifacts... and the man destined to one day become... Hawkman. But before that day comes, the native police officer will have to uncover the harsh realities of Thanagar: a world of racism, drugs, and cold existence; a civilization that has enslaved other worlds and races; a people who have forgotten and abandoned their legends. Book Two: Freefall. Katar Hol is dragged deeper into the Thanagarian rebellion as he is convicted of treason and sentenced to a remote island, where he learns more about life... and the true history of Thanagar. Book Three: Phoenix Flight. Hawkgirl confronts Katar Hol with evidence that reveals the identity of the gunrunner for the Downside aliens... and finally clears his father's name of a decade-old charge of treason. Out Of Print.
