Story Notes
This is the beginning of the "mock-Eisner" period of The Hawk. From here on, all of the "Eisner" touches are actually swipes or stats from earlier episodes used by Iger to maintain the Eisner "look and feel" since Eisner had moved on to The Spirit and Quality Comics. Per Mort Leav, Art Saaf was given old Eisner material and assigned to re-write, re-compose, and fill in the gaps to create "new" Eisner Hawk stories (Robin Snyder's The Comics).
