Serious question, Was RR a Hawkman imitator and was he the first such.

 



Those can be kinda rare 'round these parts!

Hawkman was in Flash Comics #1 which had a cover date of January 1940.  Red Raven #1 had a cover date of August 1940.  So it's possible someone was "inspired".

A banner like that sure inspires hope that we might indeed be seeing GA Rarities!  Unless of course today is April Fo...oh...





Hawkman was "lifted" from the Hawkmen of Flash Gordon for the original source of all those bird brained superheroes that followed.
