Bart Maverick

Bart Maverick is a roguish, quick-witted frontier gambler and the younger brother of Bret Maverick, adapted from the popular ABC television Western series. Charming and clever rather than handy with a gun, he wanders the Old West talking his way out of trouble.

Few characters capture the breezy, anything-goes spirit of the Silver Age Western quite like Bart Maverick, who rode onto the Dell Comics scene in 1959 with artist Dan Spiegle bringing him to vivid life. A fixture of the Maverick series, Bart shares his pages with the equally roguish Bret Maverick, making for some of the most entertaining frontier company in comics of the era. His run may be compact — just nine catalogued appearances across a tight 1959–1961 window — but that only adds to the appeal for collectors hunting down a genuine snapshot of Dell's Western heyday. If you've got a soft spot for sharp Silver Age storytelling and saddle-worn charm, Bart Maverick is well worth tracking down.
