Subject Matter

Genres: superhero

First Line: Watch out! He's using that dowsing rod to draw a column of water from the sky --

Synopsis: Hawkman and Hawkgirl must stop an ancient and immortal Mayan chief, newly awakened and possessing fantastic alien weapons. CORRECTION: Previous indexer had entered the following: "An ancient Mayan chief was taken by aliens and returned to Earth as an immortal with fantastic alien weapons, and now Hawkman and Hawkgirl must stop him." Chac, the Mayan chief, was never "taken by aliens and returned to Earth". The alien craft, from which Chac stole an immortality serum and various alien weapons, had crash landed onto his domain. See story pages 6-7.
