What I like about the headpiece is that it looks like a "helmet" for lack of better term, that is sitting on his head, as opposed to a more form-fitting "mask". Reminds me of the original way it was shown, and really just makes good sense and looks pretty damn good!

The way Kubert drew the helmet -- and that is the right word -- the impression was often given that Katar was looking out under the beak, not thru the eyes. A neat effect, I thought as a kid. And still do!(Plus, Kubert would often draw Katar and Shayera pushing the helmets back, so that their faces were exposed, when they were in non-action situations.)

I felt like you were channeling Marshall Rodgers when I first saw the picture. Don't know why, I don't recall seeing him draw Hawkman, but that's what I felt. Very nice piece.

Very Murphy Andersonish... at least when looking at it at reduced size on a computer.

I dig the helmet look as well. I remember how neat I thought Hawkman's headgear looked when JB drew it that way during his WW run.

I think Marshall Rogers drew a Hawkman solo story as the back-up in an issue of Detective Comics (I'm at work, so I don't have access to my collection and can't cite the issue #) - part of the several-different-heroes-vs-The Calculator story that ran for a few months in the mid-to-late '70's.
