Hawk & Dove and Doctor Strange



The Hawk and Dove costumes on Titans look great to me.  Hawk in particular has one of those superhero costumes that seemed to me to be very difficult to translate to live action, but I am surprised and impressed with the results.  It gives me hope for other characters with tricky looks like The Creeper or Moon Knight to be done justice on screen.

    A new Ditko cover, now that really something special. I've looked at your own art in the archives and that shows some of your art training for all this. Anyone can put cut and paste figures together but you do it correctly and with style.

    I know this is going to sound like the usual brown-nosing. But, this cover is worthy of having a real-life story published around it. Like, say, Hank and Don Hall's parents being Carter and Shiera. Hence, the abduction of their souls! I realize, of course, that the Silver Age Hawk and Dove had differently first-named parents. But, with all the ret-cons DC has gone through over the last three decades, why couldn't the corporate PTB's stretch the point to this extent?

    To which I say: why not?

      I second this motion. I hope someone at DC gets the same idea.

    Paging Dr Strange, Creeper, Spider-Man and Hawk & Dove for a special Ditko 80 page cover: "Tagged Team".
    Man in the spotlight being asked to do it is the guy with the Earth-2 Robin's logo, Ross. (Robin's logo?) When asked about it, he said,"I'm sorry but it doesn't include "The Question".

    What kind of question does it need?
    .........The original question would be ok.
    You mean there's a follow up question?
    .........Isn't there always?

    Ditto on Ditko. Raves on raves.

    And as a suggestion: (3. 4. or 5. of each) Multiple crisis on One Earth
    Superbunny Bugs, Captain Carrot. Hoppy the marvel bunny, Dumb Bunny., Thunderbunny, Wonder Wabbit & Harvey. maybe Roger Rabbit too.

    Maybe a horizontal cover? Good luck.

    I've always had a soft spot for Hawk & Dove. They are one of the greatest duos in comics right up there with Batman and Robin, Powerman and Iron Fist, Green Lantern and Green Arrow, Mickey and Donald, Calvin and Hobbes, Inky and Winky, Lone Ranger and Tonto, and Betty and Veronica. Excellent cover!

    Or titled "Splitting Hares"

    Sometime I'd like to see Image's Shadowhawk try to replace Hawk as Dove's partner
