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