Dagar, the Desert Hawk was a fictional character that appeared in comic books published by Fox Feature Syndicate. Dagar first appeared in All Great Comics #13 (December 1947), with pencils by Edmond Good.[1]

Dagar was a desert adventurer, in the vein of Tarzan. He usually appeared wearing a traditional Bedouin robe (in the style of Lawrence of Arabia). Dagar's romantic interest was the beautiful Ayesha.[2] He fought Bedu raiders, ant-men, mad scientists and mummies.[3]

After his first appearance, All Great Comics was renamed Dagar, Desert Hawk, starting with issue #14 (February 1948).[4] The final issue was #23 (April 1949).[5] Dagar made one last appearance in All Top Comics #18 (July 1949).[6]
