Hotspur #362 (1966)

History[]

Originally a criminal known as The Black Hawk who was relentlessly hunted by private detective Calvin Crisp, this master of gadgetry and weaponry later turned over a new leaf to become the crimebusting Scarlet Hawk! He and his assistant Strogo, an ex circus strongman, had a secret base hidden beneath the Dorset cliffs, which is not really an area known as a hotbed of criminal activity. Presumably, they spent a lot of time commuting in their Aviosub.

Notes[]

The Scarlet Hawk hasn't appeared anywhere since the Hotspur Book for Boys 1979, published a couple of years after his last weekly adventure.

Trivia[]

The early Scarlet Hawk stories were just relettered reprints of the earlier Black Hawk stories, in which his assitant was the mute Soyo.
