The Hawk #11 - Matt Baker cover

Matt Baker

The Hawk v1 #11, 1955 - Against a richly colored backdrop, the Hawk stands over his foe in the aftermath of a gunfight. A US Mail satchel and a rifle lies nearby, suggesting a robbery. Matt Baker's cover is both dramatic and memorable. He conveniently frames the hero with surrounding rock formations, while distant cliffs provide distance and depth. Note how the Hawk's gun points directly at the robber's head. Other artists in this golden age western comic include Bob Lubbers and Carmine Infantino. This is 4 of 5 The Hawk issues by Baker.
