The Hawk #8 - Matt Baker cover

Matt Baker

The Hawk v1 #8, 1954 - Using a dead man and his horse for cover, the Hawk tries to fend off an ambush. Competently drawn and laid out, Matt Baker's cover is certainly arresting. The rich color palette certainly adds to its appeal, helping to define the figures and the background landscape. This is number 1 of 5 Hawk issues with Baker art and/or covers.
