Who is Big Anvil?

A Silver Age original born in the pages of DC's frontier-flavored Tomahawk in 1964, Big Anvil is the kind of rugged, larger-than-life character that defined that era's appetite for adventure in unexpected corners of the DCU. Created by Ed Herron and Fred Ray, this figure shares the page with the likes of Tomahawk, Frenchie Duval, and even The Flash β€” quite the range of company for a character rooted in the rough-and-tumble world of frontier comics. Noteworthy enough to earn a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, Big Anvil has a small but genuine footprint in DC history, with a presence stretching across more than two decades. For collectors who love digging into the wilder, less-charted territories of Silver Age DC, this is exactly the kind of discovery that makes the hunt worthwhile.
