    Starhawk's one and only appearance was on the very last page (page 64) of Marvel Super-Heroes I#20 (May, 1969), and it was only an advertising page for this new upcoming feature. (more on that below...)
 

    An idea for a new series -- maybe they could team-up Starhawk with Cougar, Decathalon, and Lectronn, and call them -- "The Limbo Legion: The Greatest Heroes Who Never Were!" (with a special guest appearance by Humus Sapien).

Since posting this profile, we received the following, courtesy James Barlow:

"I stumbled across an image that has to be the same Starhawk on the Internet in 2003.  I've attached the jpeg though it's rather small.  I'm afraid I just can't remember what site I copied it from but the image title was "Starhawk - Adkins".  I'm certain there was nothing else but the image regarding Starhawk unfortunately, but the scene suggests little resemblance to the Starhawk of the Guardians of the Galaxy.  I vaguely recall putting Dan Adkins name into the Google Image Search and it does look like his work as best as I can tell.I hope you find this interesting if not helpful.  Keep up the good work on the Appendix". -

Prime Eternal researched the image, and has some major new intelligence!

The image comes from the fanzine Marvelmania#3, where it was used as the cover. Inside Marvelmania#3 is an explanation of why the story was not published:

"Starhawk may or may not be familiar to you depending upon how closely you have followed his comic book career which thus far has been limited to one advertisement in the back of an issue of Marvel Super-Heroes. That particular ad heralded the debut of this dynamic new hero in the next issue which was, instead, reprints of old Marvels, gathered together a few minutes before press time. That Starhawk has not yet appeared is due to what may best be described as a lack of a strong format. Starhawk's debut story was completed and a cover was drawn by Dan Adkins. The cover he did for the first story, in fact, is the cover of this very magazine!! However, as sometimes happens, a story doesn't work out as expected -- someone gets off on the wrong track and the end result was not what anyone intended it to be. All of Dan Adkins' beautiful pictures only served to illustrate story elements which were not to Starhawk's advantage. In short, it was felt that the first issue was a step in the wrong direction and, rather than let Starhawk debut on the wrong foot, the issue was yanked at the last minute and reprints were substituted. Exactly when Starhawk will make his actual debut has not yet been decided but this we can say as fact -- He will appear in the pages of Marvel in the foreseeable future and when he does, his first story will not be anything but what it was intended to be. It will be written and re-written until it is exactly as desired because nothing can hurt a new character more than a false start-- From what we hear, Starhawk embodies many of the traditional elements of science-fiction in comics, as well as a number of new innovations."
