Second Hawkman try-out issue, this copy is one of four 9.4s with none higher. Acquired in November 21, 2019 Heritage auction.
2023 Update: The population of this issue in 9.4 keeps expanding, as there are now five examples in the census, but still nothing higher.

Issue #36 marks the third appearance of SA Hawkman and features the Origin and first appearance of the Shadow Thief. Our WP 9.6 is the single highest graded example, which is followed by a single 9.4, a single 9.2 and a single 9.0, which is undoubtedly one of the strangest census I have seen. We acquired the book from the 12/7/2021 CL Auction.
2923 Update: There are now two 9.0s, with single copies at 9.2, 9.4 and 9.6 atop the census.

As most collectors undoubtedly know, the White Mountain Pedigree is distinguished a handwritten date on the cover. Our 9.6 White Mountain Pedigree copy of this 1962 issue is the highest graded copy (1/2) as of June 2020. We acquired the book in the September 2019 ComicConnect auction.*
2021 Update: There are now three 9.6s in the census, with one of the others being auctioned off by Heritage in June 2021. Still, this seems to be the finest copy in existence, as it’s the only white page pedigree example.
2023 Update: Wow, grade inflation continues on this one, as there are now four 9.6s topping the census. I still believe ours is the only WP pedigreed example.

Issue #44 is the last solo SA Hawkman debut appearance in the Brave and Bold title. There are two 9.6s on this one topping the census. We lost the first 9.6 copy of this issue to a friend and fellow collector at auction, but then, lo and behold, a second 9.6 emerged, which we won at a significant discount to the first. We acquired our book from the 12/7/21 CL Auction. Unfortunately, more times than not we have been on the other side of situations like this, as it’s always better to buy the second book. But then again, you never know whether there will be one.

I always liked this cover with Hawkeye battling what looks like some kind of Aztec mystic. It is obviously the first Hawkman issue in his own name and also features the origin of Chac. Our copy is tied for second highest graded trailing a single 9.8. Rumor is that Josh Nathanson, President of CL, has the sole 9.8 stashed away in his personal collection. We acquired our 9.6 off the Metropolis Exchange.

Undoubtedly the most valuable book in the entire Hawkman run because of the first appearance of Zantanna Zayara, even though she does not appear on the cover. Our book is tied for second highest graded trailing three 9.8s in the census. We acquired the book in the 2/21/2019 Heritage auction.

Cool cover and another book from the Pacific Coast Collection, which sits alone atop the census. We just recently acquired this book in June 2023 from a friend and fellow collector.
November 2023 Update: It appears there are now two 9.8s in the census, but at least ours is the Pacific Coast copy.
