Bran Mac Mufin

A creature of Bronze Age independent comics, Bran Mac Mufin stepped onto the page in Cerebus #43 (1982), born from the singular imagination of Dave Sim at Aardvark-Vanaheim — one of the most celebrated self-published comics ventures in the medium's history. With only a handful of appearances concentrated in the beloved High Society arc, this character is a small but distinctive thread in the rich, satirical tapestry that surrounds Cerebus himself. Sharing those pages with the likes of Astoria, Lord Julius Tavers, and the irrepressible Elrod is no small thing — it places Bran squarely within some of the sharpest, most politically charged storytelling the Bronze Age independent scene had to offer. For collectors who prize the deep cuts of Sim's sprawling epic, tracking down Bran Mac Mufin is a rewarding little treasure hunt.
