his series was one of several DC Comics based superhero cartoons that formed part of the 60-minute compilation program, The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. Only three, seven-minute episodes of Hawkman were produced.

Carter Hall, scientific genius from a far-off world, worked on Earth as an unassuming space lab technician on the outskirts of Midway City. But when trouble reared it ugly head, he flew into action as the winged wonder Hawkman, with the assistance of his faithful fighting mascot Skreal, who was (what else) a hawk. Hawkman was equipped with a power gauntlet in the shape of a claw that could fire various types of rays and chemicals to assist him in taking on earthly as well as interplanetary foes. When duty took him away from Earth, he used his powerful wings to fly to his orbiting spaceship, from which he could rocket through the cosmos in record time.

Hawkman could also be seen in the concurrent Justice League of America series, and later as a member of the Super Friends.
