Author	Topic: Tomahawk! Tomahawk! Tomahawk!
exredleg Member	posted March 08, 2003 06:34 PM Looks like I started something with the Gold Key thread, so I came back for more! My wife included a copy of Alter Ego #19 in her latest "care package" to me here in Korea (great gal, ain't she?). I was STUNNED by the articles and gorgeous Fred Ray artwork on DC's Tomahawk !! I could have sworn I'd seen a Tomahawk thread running on the Archive board a while back. All I can say is start the Tomahawk Archives series NOW! Has anybody mapped this one out? According to the article, this series ran 22 years! If this isn't collected, I just might have to spend some primo cash on these babies at conventions or online ... DC! Don't force me to raid my kids' college funds! Start printing those Tomahawk Archives! ------------------ exredleg "Commitment isn't a chore, it's a challenge." - Solomon Short IP: Logged
Owen Cardiff Darcy Member	posted March 08, 2003 06:54 PM I'd like to do a Tomahawk map, but I'd need info for some of the later issues of Star Spangled Comics. The GCD is missing #119, 120, 123-126, 129 and 130. IP: Logged

Bgztl Member	posted March 08, 2003 11:47 PM This series would have my unqualified support. I also think DC might be surprised how many non-comics readers might be interested in this series. At my law office for instance the comics that get mentioned as childhood favorites are Batman, Sgt. Rock and Tomahawk. The Revolutionary War angle was very appealing to a lot of readers. And that Alter Ego article helps to point out why later issues were terrific. I would like to see more of the earlier adventures as well. IP: Logged

James Friel Member	posted March 09, 2003 03:52 AM Cover by Tim Truman, eh? I like that. IP: Logged
Lee Semmens Member	posted March 09, 2003 04:22 AM Tim who? Why not a Fred Ray cover? IP: Logged
Carlo Member	posted March 09, 2003 06:34 AM I'm good for one of these...and a Metal Men one too, darn it! Best... Carlo IP: Logged
zilch61 Member	posted March 10, 2003 12:58 AM I'd like to see an 80 Page Giant... they started promising us one since about '64 and i've got my quarter set aside! And if the 80Pg'er does well, maybe they could fast track an Archive... maybe starting with #83 with the Rangers! zilch IP: Logged
Bgztl Member	posted March 10, 2003 09:25 PM I've got to save this so I'm bumping it up for tomorrow. IP: Logged
paladin Member	posted March 11, 2003 03:01 AM I would buy an archive or two of Tomahawk. IP: Logged
James Friel Member	posted March 11, 2003 03:02 AM Actually, so would I, and it's a strip I never gave a second glance to as a kid. IP: Logged
vinylchair Member	posted March 12, 2003 01:05 PM Would Ted Turner write the intro? He likes the Tomahawk chop. How were the later Hawk, son of Tomahawk stories? I seem to have missed them. IP: Logged
Joe Pacheco Member	posted March 12, 2003 09:06 PM I'd buy it. The covers look great on some of the later books. IP: Logged
bruce Member	posted March 15, 2003 03:32 AM I would definitely pick this material up if it were to appear on the market. My Dad told me he read Tomahawk as a kid, along with Blackhawk. Here's hoping that the folks at DC will publish Tomahawk in an archive so I can enjoy Dad's Christmas present as I did with the Blackhawk archive. IP: Logged

James Friel Member	posted March 15, 2003 04:01 AM Among Silver Age and slightly earlier potential Archives, in fact, some of the ones I'd most enjoy seeing, I suspect, are features that I either ignored completely (Tomahawk, Rex the Wonder Dog, Mark Merlin), or that I read perhaps a couple issues of and then dropped (Rip Hunter, Sea Devils, War That Time Forgot).

daytripper Member	posted March 16, 2003 02:08 AM I read Tomahawk toward the end of its run, with art by Frank Thorne, and covers by Neal Adams. As usual, with my voracious appetite for comics, the problem back in those days was distribution. When I saw Tomahawk comics, I bought them. ------------------ Allen Smith IP: Logged
