Since we started Hawkworld back in 2016, we have celebrated Hawkgirl Day on April 25. Shiera Saunders first appeared as Hawkgirl in All-Star Comics No. 5, which was released on April 25, 1941. Techincally Shiera didn't become Hawkgirl until Flash Comics No. 24, but even then she didn't officially become THE Hawkgirl until later. But she dressed up as Hawkgirl for the first time and helped Hawkman so we consider April 25, 1941 as her debut as Hawkgirl.
This week, from April 20 to April 25, we'll be putting the spotlight on the different versions of Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman that we've seen over the years.
