Tomahawk (Comic Book) | comment |
Tomahawk is a comic book character whose adventures were published by DC Comics during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s as a backup feature in Star Spangled Comics and World's Finest Comics and in his own eponymous series. He was created by writer Joe Samachson and artist Edmund Good, and first appeared in Star-Spangled Comics #69.Tomahawk was a backup feature in Star Spangled Comics from his first appearance (June 1947) to issue #130 (July 1952), and in World's Finest Comics from issue #33 (Mar. 1948) until issue #101 (May 1959). The Tomahawk series lasted 140 issues, from 1950 to 1972.Known as either Tom Hawk or Thomas Haukins, depending on which of two versions of his published history the reader prefers, "Tomahawk" was a soldier who served under George Washington in the warfare between the British, French and Iroquois forces during the decades prior to the American Revolutionary War and acquired his nickname due to its resemblance to a trademark weapon of the Iroquois Confederacy's warriors, and to the skill he developed with that weapon.He subsequently achieved further fame as one of Washington's most capable operatives during the Revolution itself, leading a band of soldiers under the informal nickname of "Tomahawk's Rangers". | |

Frankenstein Monster: In "The Frontier Frankenstein" in #103, British troops capture Big Anvil and a German scientist subjects him to a treatment involving "rare African herbs" which causes him to transform into a hulking green-skinned Frankenstein monster at night. The narration suggests this event might have been Mary Shelley's inspiration to write the novel Frankenstein. | |

"Scooby-Doo" Hoax: In Tomahawk #106, the Royalist forces take advantage of Tomahawk's supposed death to create a "ghost" Tomahawk which they use to attempt to lure the Rangers into an ambush. The Amish or Quaker or whatever community that Wildcat was once part of built a giant man-powered stone robot to scare both sides of the Revolutionary War away from their land. Yes, you read all that correctly. | |

Retool | |
Tomahawk (Comic Book) / int_b2283870 | comment |
Retool: Tomahawk had two retools towards the end of its run. First, the comic was changed from "hey kids isn't Davy Crockett cool?" to "the Howling Commandos in the Revolutionary War", with Tomahawk gaining a colorful supporting cast and a direct affiliation with the Continental Army. After about five years of that, the book (retaining the same title and numbering) jumped forward some 40 years and focused on Tomahawk's son Hawk, with the still-living Tomahawk being Hawk's mentor/sidekick. "Hawk, son of Tomahawk" didn't last too long, as the book was canceled within a year of Hawk's introduction. | |

Trading Bars for Stripes: An issue of Tomahawk saw the title character assigned to lead a six-man team of infamous criminals pressed into service for the Continental Army. At first, each plotted to kill Tomahawk and escape (and two of them actually tried it). Three of them died on the ensuing mission, each in such a heroic fashion that the remaining three vowed to be good guys from that point on. | |

A Nazi by Any Other Name | |
Tomahawk (Comic Book) / int_c2288824 | comment |
A Nazi by Any Other Name: In #112, Tomahawk battles a Hessian officer named Van Grote: a Torture Technician who is rounding civilians sympathetic to the rebel cause and imprisoning them in prison camps (surrounded by anachronistic barbed wire). To further drive the point home he has adopted a good luck symbol stole from a local Indian chief as his personal symbol: the swastikanote Never mind that the swastika was a symbol of luck for the Navajo: a tribe located nowhere near the original 13 colonies.. His personal troops wear the symbol on an armband. | |

Criminal Amnesiac: In #110, Tomahawk loses his memory when his skull is creased by a rifle ball. Captured by the British, Lady Shilling (secretly the Hood) is able to persuade him that he is a Loyalist officer and her fiancée. This leads to the Rangers believing that Tomahawk has turned traitor and attempting to kill him. | |

To Catch Heroes, Hire Villains: One of the Crown's more successful plots against Tomahawk and the Rangers involved pardoning notorious criminals — giant strongman Bull, agile thief the Fly, a Native tracker called "the Indian", vicious pirate Captain Salt, and peerless gunman the Highwayman. They easily capture all the Rangers, including Tomahawk himself, though Tomahawk manages to lead an escape as their execution looms. | |
