In the HAWKWORLD Prestige Format mini-series (see Hawkworld (1989 Limited Series)), the tale of Thanagarian policeman Katar Hol was begun...and now his adventures continue in the HAWKWORLD ongoing series. The evil Byth has fled Thanagar for Earth, with Hawkman and Hawkwoman hot on his trail. On Earth, Katar and Shayera link up with the Thanagarian ambassador and begin to lay down roots for high-flying adventure set on Earth and Thanagar and all points in between.

The series was popular and so a Hawkworld ongoing was launched the following year.
