Title: "The Men Who Moved the World" Pages: 13. Feature(s): Hawkman (of Earth-1) Feature Character(s) Hawkman (last appearance in Brave and the Bold #44; next appearance in #7) Supporting Character(s) (last appearance in Brave and the Bold #44; next appearance in Atom #7) Khrem, Setph, and an unnamed cat-headed humanoid (no further appearances) Comments: Hawkman teams up with the Atom in Atom #7 following this story. Hawkgirl appears only as Shiera Hall in that story. Synopsis: Three animal-headed humanoids wake after 12,000 years, to recover a disc housed in the Midway City Museum which they intend to use to restore Earth to its orbit of 10,000 B.C. Despite Hawkman�s intervention they do so, and thus cause the planet to leave its present orbit. The radiation residue they leave in the museum allows Hawkman and Hawkgirl to trail them to the ancient Trans-Jordan city of Petra, where the humanoids activated the orbitron. This machine will make the change in orbit permanent after one day of operation; this they believe will change Earth�s topography enough to uncover their ancient city of Lansinar, now buried under the in the Arctic. Awakened from their sleep by prior plan, the trio is now charged with the task of restoring their city�s dominance over Earth, which had been halted when a wandering planet passed by (12,000 years ago), which changed the orbit by shifting the poles. Hawkman and Hawkgirl battle the three in planes over Petra, and capture the humanoids after putting their crafts out of commission. The villains refuse to communicate until hearing a signal that the day has passed, and then reveal their plans. They have miscalculated, however; Earth�s day is now six hours longer than in their time, and the winged crimefighters easily turn off the machine. Then they turn them over to the United Nations for determination of their fate and that of their city. The Hawkman Archives Vol. 1 by Gardner F. Fox.

This is Hawkgirl�s chronological earliest appearance. Hawkman is awarded his "honor wings" at the conclusion of this story. Hawkman and Hawkgirl�s boots are again modified in this story. Thanagar is mistakenly referred to as "Ranagar" once in this story. Synopsis: Homesick, Katar and Shayera return to Thanagar, and report to their Chief of Police Andar Pul, who sends them on vacation. First, they are debriefed of Earth�s police methods. When they return to active duty, they encounter thieves, tiny green men riding giant dragonflies, and capture these riders using Terran crime-fighting techniques. However, the dragonflies complete the robbery on their own, and Katar suspects that his old foe Byth is at the bottom of this theft. They find him gone from prison, and learn that the raiders are androids. Byth had arranged for his formula to alter his being to be smuggled into prison on the adhesive of envelopes, and escaped as a Vandalusian driller mole. To clear their minds, Hawkman and Hawkgirl visit the Veil of Valmoora, site of their first meeting. There, rookie policewoman Shayera Thal had saved veteran Katar Hol�s life in the capture of the Rainbow Robbers. This causes her to think of her marriage earrings, and she devises a plan to bring Byth into the open, using a gem tree adorned with planted jewels. The villain successfully makes off with the jewels, putting the guards into a trance, but Hawkman follows his radioactive trail. The couple tracks down the gang, and overcomes them all, even though Byth changes into a mirage bird and attempts, unsuccessfully, to escape. Byth and his accomplices are all incarcerated, this time without visitation or mail privileges. Krandor Vat, High Mor of Thanagar, honors Hawkman�s accomplishments by awarding the first pair of Honor Wings, which are permanently fixed to his cowl. The Hawkman Archives Vol. 1 by Gardner F. Fox.

Hawkman discovers that Una has revived Dick, and is keeping him prisoner with several other scientists, in oversized laboratory flasks, hoping to learn from her captives, one way or another, the secret of eternal life.
