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 (June 1947). Tomahawk’s uniqueness stems in part from the time frame of his fictional adventures: the American Revolutionary War.

Tomahawk was a backup feature in Star Spangled Comics from his first appearance, issue #69 (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. Most stories during this period were by writer France Herron and artist Fred Ray. The last ten issues of Tomahawk focused on 

“Hawk, Son of Tomahawk” (Hawk Haukins), drawn by Frank Thorne. 

The cover title was “Son of Tomahawk” (#131 -#140.

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”.

In issues 35 and 36 (Sept.–Nov. 1955), Tomahawk met a young Davy Crockett, who was very popular at the time. However, this was a historical error, as Crockett (1786–1836) was not born until after the Revolutionary War.

Issue #81 was also notable, introducing Miss Liberty (Bess Lynn), one of the earliest patriotic superheroes by the vague internal chronology of the DC Universe, who would make several more appearances in the series. Liberty Belle is a descendant of hers.

In the Time Masters mini-series, it is established that Tomahawk’s associate Dan Hunter is actually Rip Hunter’s cousin who travels back in time to stop the Illuminati during the Revolutionary War, deciding to stay in the past.

Jungle Comics was first published by Fiction House in January, 1940. It enjoyed a long run finishing at issue #163 in Summer, 1954.

The main character associated with the title is Kaänga. He appeared in every issue of Jungle Comics. The original artist who worked on Kaanga is believed to have been Alex Blum but as he is so heavily and obviously based on Tarzan, no one can be credited for his creation.

When Kaanga was a child his parents died in the jungle and he was raised by apes. The reader never gets to know his real name or his ancestry, but the jungle is where Kaänga feels most at home. In the first issue Kaanga meets his mate Ann, who is a Jane clone, after he rescues her from a white slave trader named Bill Blackton. Ann then joins Kaänga in his jungle existence.

After nearly ten years Kaänga was given his own title in Spring, 1949. This ran for 20 issues until the Summer of 1954.
