Adventures in Comic-Boxing: Strange Bird Lore!

From the pages of HAWKMAN #1 (DC Comics, Cover Date: April-May, 1964)...

...with a cover by Murphy Anderson that I always loved, BTW, comes the "not-so-strange" (because it's in HAWKMAN) editorial feature "Strange Bird Lore"!

While each example of Strange Bird Lore is interesting to one degree or another, I call your attention to the final one featuring a CROW!  

"It is fancied that when a lone traveler spies a single CROW flying overhead, his journey will end in misfortune..."


Yes indeed! ...Especially if you're in a CONVERTABLE with the TOP DOWN! 

And, need I mention that the... um,  crow of convertible coverage  is not the only crow appearing in DC Comics of the time that has been known to cause... misfortune!
