Today in Comics History, June 5: Happy birthday, David Gallaher!

Let's all wish a big happy birthday to David Gallaher (Green Lantern Corps, Darkstar and the Winter Guard, The Mighty Crusaders: The Shield, Box 13, The Only Living Boy and The Only Living Girl, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, High Moon, and more)!

Here he is commemorated for all time in an issue of Hawkman! (He's the doctor in the green lab coat.) Let's hope he, like most of Hawkman's history, hasn't been retconned away several times.



from Hawkman (2002 series) #38 (DC, May 2005), script by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti, pencils by Dale Eaglesham, inks by Lary Stucker and Wade von Grawbadger, colors by John Kalisz, letters by Pat Brosseau
