In every Look Back, we examine a comic book issue from 10/25/50/75 years ago (plus a wild card every month with a fifth week in it). This time around, as this month has a fifth week, we head to June 1964 for the comic book debut of Hawkeye.
As you surely know, the Marvel Universe in the first half of the 1960s was almost entirely defined by two artists – Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Between those two artists (both working with Stan Lee, and occasionally Lee’s brother, Larry Lieber), they created pretty much all of the most recognizable figures of Marvel in the early 1960s, from the Fantastic Four to Spider-Man to Thor to Doctor Strange to Ant-Man and the Wasp to the Hulk.
As a refresher (which I previously shared in a post about Marvel creators depicting the Marvel Method in comic books themselves), let’s recap what we mean when we say the “Marvel Method.” There are two notable ways to write a comic book. Likely the most common one (and, ironically enough, is the way that most Marvel Comics are written nowadays) is that the writer writes a script that explains what is going on in each page, along with the dialogue. The artist then draws the pages based on the script.
