Story Notes
Original art credits given to Charles Sultan? but Bob Powell comes from ALTER EGO #66 (March 2007). Scan & info supplied by Jonathan C. Jensen thanks to Henry R. Kujawa's report to GCD error list. The 'Lightning'. "A New Dynamic Character", appears only on the cover. The given title of that issue's Sheena adventure, "The Elephants' Graveyard", had actually appeared in the previous issue.

Story Notes
Title is taken from the cover. While all other Hawk episodes to date are reprinted from earlier Eisner-Iger syndicated material, this appears to have been done especially for Jumbo Comics and does not appear in the complete "Hawks of the Seas" reprint volume from Kitchen Sink.

Story Notes
A product of the Eisner-Iger Shop - Hames sees Bob Powell on females. An interesting artist, but Nordling is just a guess. Has a Jack Hearne feel, but probably too early.

Story Notes
Lee seems pretty certain of his IDs, so I went with them. Fine looks okay to me in the beginning. I wouldn't know CW at this stage. Hames also sees Frollo on one page?
In Chinatown

Story Notes
The art style changes after four pages, from okay to poor. Possibly Art Peddy in the beginning??? Comparing Bob Powell art on "Sheena" makes it unlikely that he is here UNLESS this is reprinted from much earlier material.
