Golden Age Hawkman Archives
Volume 1

Introducing Hawkman! Gardner Fox’s stories took the reincarnated Egyptian prince and pitted him against common criminals and uncommon masked felons. UPDATE December 8, 2005: There is a major printing error with the First edition. I'll be posting more information when I receive it, so watch this space. UPDATE December 24, 2005: I received word from Bob Greenberger (Senior Editor of Collected Editions at DC), this morning. It turns out that the separator got the pages out of order, The Editors then missed it because at that point they, and Bob, were concerned with clarity of reconstruction and correctness of color, thus affecting EVERY copy. There are no perfect versions of this book. I know I stated in my show that DCBS had a good copy for me, but now that does not seem to be the case. I have notified DCBS. I was just going by their word. I never had the book in front of me. Again, the pages in question are 131-136 and page sequence is as follows: 1, 3, 2, 5, 4, and 6. I also received an e-mail from a listener Bob he received the following e-mail from DCBS: We looked into the problem with the Golden Age Hawkman Archives that you notified us about and our Diamond rep informed us that they were completely unaware of any problems. Which means that DC has not notified them about a misprint. So, we will send you your copy as normal and if you notice a misprint please notify us immediately. We will have you return the book, we will notify Diamond of the problem, and get you an appropriate replacement as soon as possible. It should be noted that DC Comics has no plans to recall the books or do a 2nd Printing. As you can see, DCBS and all retailers are in tough situations. There is no real recourse for the consumer at this point. I welcome your e-mails on this subject. UPDATE March 28, 2006: DC COMICS TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE COPIES OF GOLDEN AGE HAWKMAN ARCHIVE VOL. 1 DC Comics Press Release- Due to an error, several pages in the GOLDEN AGE HAWKMAN ARCHIVE VOL. 1 HC (OCT050251) were printed out of order. Consumers may return their copies to retailers, who can call in these and any copies in stock as damaged to Diamond Comic Distributors through April 18, 2006. Diamond then will send replacement copies. UPDATE May 17, 2006: I received my corrected copy from DCBS. It should be noted that the pages are in the correct order, but my copy still states, First Printing in the indicia. No mention of the correction is anywhere in the book, so it may be hard, at fist glance to delineate between the Corrected and the Uncorrected versions. 224 pg.
