Star Hawks is a comic strip written first by Ron Goulart and later by Archie Goodwin, with artwork by Gil Kane. It began on October 3, 1977 and ran through 1980. Kane received the National Cartoonist Society Story Comic Strip Award for 1977 for his work on the strip.[1]

[edit] Format

The daily strip was unique in that it was a "two-tier" strip. Each daily was twice as large as the normal daily strip. This format allowed artist Kane great flexibility in layout. However it greatly hampered efforts to sign on papers to carry the strip. The strip ran daily and Sunday for three and a half years, for a total of 1,252 strips.
