As much as I love Fraction's Hawkeye (which you will be recommended over and over, seriously it's very good), for a more complete understanding of the character I'd actually recommend you go a little further back to start. For a bare-bones beginning, check out:

  • Tales of Suspense #57 (his first appearance)
  • Tales of Suspense #60 and #64 (the "rest" of that first appearance)
  • Avengers #16 (his first induction into the titular group)
  • Gruenwald's 1983 Hawkeye 1-4 (his first breakout miniseries, offers excellent insight into his character, and classic 80s fun - one of my favorite miniseries of all time).

    Of course there is so much more, but for the most concise understanding of Hawkeye's classic beginnings, these are absolutely essential.

    For the "how", you could go the physical route and get TPBs from Amazon or bookstores - in which case I recommend:

    Avengers: Hawkeye or Earth's Mightiest Marksman - both collect the original Gruenwald solo series, with the former including his origin and some 70s material, and the latter with some late 80s stuff.

    Tales of Suspense: Hawkeye and the Winter Soldier - Excellent modern story, if you liked Endgame Hawkeye you'll like this one. The art is a little odd but it grows on you.

    Hawkeye and the Thunderbolts - Some definite 90s cheese, but if you're into that it's an excellent ensemble series that Hawkeye really shines in as a leader, since his whole character is basically built on the value of second chances.

    Hawkeye Vs Deadpool - A very fun, light, modern story by the hilarious and inimitable Gerry Duggan, also has Kate Bishop.

    Hawkeye and Mockingbird: Ghosts - Also modern but more serious in tone, with a lot of WCA influence. I'm a little biased, but Bobbi and Clint make an excellent team no matter where in the timeline you are.

    Secret Avengers - not Hawkeye centric but he is on the team, it's another ensemble book that you may enjoy. Again the art is a bit nontypical, but it's a fun ride.

    Or, as you said, pretty much just stroll into a comic book shop and say "Hawkeye please" and see what they point you toward. TBPs are great for new readers because they usually collect 4 or 5 issues of a story at a time, and if you like it you can continue the story in the next volume, or just leave it and hop on to something else.

    And don't forget to check out your local library! Many of them have TPBs to borrow, or can get you them from other branches. ♫Having fun isn't hard, when you've got a library card!♫

    If you prefer digital, Marvel Unlimited is a good way to catch up on any character's back issues - it's a subscription service ($10/mo or $60$69/year) that gets you access to basically any Marvel book older than 6 months. Comixology is also a good digital source, if you want to pick and choose particular issues to buy (including more recent ones).
