Comic Art
Winged superheroes hold a special place in my heart. Maybe it is their resemblance to angels. Anyone who has seen the current movie "Constantine" knows how absolutely stunning depictions of winged humans can be. (Warning: have you theology and mythology screwed down real tught before you go to this movie or it will play with your head.)
I do not know if Hawkman is the first winged superhero ever, but he is the first I ever encountered, and visually one of the most stunning, though I wish they would quit messing with his back story. Here are three depicitions, all in different style, that I find lovely.
