Star Hawks was a comic strip created by Ron Goulart and Gil Kane, first published on October 3, 1977, that ran through May 2, 1981. It was written through April 1979 by Goulart, followed by Archie Goodwin (1979-1980), Roger McKenzie (1980-1981) and Roger Stern (writing assist, 1979). Comics veteran Gil Kane provided the artwork, with uncredited help (during a period of illness on Kane's part) from Ernie Colón and Howard Chaykin.
Kane received the National Cartoonist Society Story Comic Strip Award for 1977 for his work on the strip.
Goulart also wrote two Star Hawks prose novels: Empire 99 and The Cyborg King.
