Brass Buttons

A Silver Age creation who rode into DC Comics in 1964 courtesy of Ed Herron and Fred Ray, Brass Buttons made their debut in the pages of Tomahawk — that beloved frontier adventure series that gave DC some of its most rugged, distinctive storytelling. Sharing those action-packed issues with the likes of Tomahawk himself, Big Anvil, and Frenchie Duval, Brass Buttons is part of a wonderfully colorful cast that made the title such a treat for fans of historical adventure comics. Their presence stretched across an impressive 23 years, and the character even earned a spot in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe — the ultimate stamp of legitimacy in the DC canon. A rare find with only six catalogued appearances, Brass Buttons is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Silver Age DC back issues such a rewarding adventure.
