KNIGHTHAWK

Knighthawk first appeared in a short story in Pilipino Superheroes Pocketkomiks #96 (October 7, 1987), published by Adventures Illustrated Magazines, Inc.  As written by Romy P. Lapuz and illustrated by Lando Nino, Bryan Lee was a karate champion and police officer who moonlighted as a motorcycle-riding masked crimefighter.

The following year, Knighthawk was given his own regular strip, with Lapuz still on board as writer and Vidal Malatbalat taking over as artist.
