Bret Maverick

Bret Maverick is a smooth-talking, quick-witted frontier gambler and drifter from the hit ABC television series, adapted into Dell Comics. Traveling the Old West alongside his brother Bart, Bret relies on charm and cunning rather than gunplay to outwit outlaws and swindlers.

A smooth-talking frontier charmer who rode onto the Silver Age comics scene in 1959, Bret Maverick is the kind of Western hero Dell Comics did so well — brought to vivid life by the talented Dan Spiegle in the pages of Maverick. With Bart Maverick for company, the series crackles with that classic Western camaraderie that made the era so memorable. Though his catalog appearances are a compact six, each one is a genuine slice of late-'50s Western comics at their most entertaining — a must for collectors with a soft spot for Dell's golden run of TV-inspired adventures.
