Publication History
A character called Starhawk appeared in an advertisement on the last page of Marvel Super-Heroes #20 (May, 1969) as the feature that would appear in the next issue. That next issue, though, and all subsequent issues of the title, were reprints of older Marvel material. The unused cover of the Starhawk feature from Marvel Super-Heroes was used as the cover of the third issue of Marvelmania, Marvel's in-house fanzine, and the first part of the unused story itself, by Roy Thomas and Dan Adkins, was printed in Marvelmania #6. Though the serialization was to continue in the next issue, the title was cancelled before that happened.
The in-continuity Starhawk first appeared in The Defenders #27 (Sep 1975), and was created by Steve Gerber and Sal Buscema. It is unclear whether this Starhawk has any connection the Marvel Super-Heroes character.

“Of all human events, perhaps, the publication of a first volume of verses is the most insignificant; but though a matter of no moment to the world, it is still of some concern to the author.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.”
