Tomahawk is an American 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.[1] He was created by writer Joe Samachson and artist Edmond Good, and first appeared in Star-Spangled Comics #69 (June 1947).[2] Tomahawk's uniqueness stems in part from the time frame of his adventures: the American Revolutionary War.
