Brian Hart

Stepping out of the mid-1980s independent comics scene, Brian Hart made his entrance in 1986 courtesy of creators Vic Bridges and Bill Black — a Copper Age debut from AC Comics, a publisher beloved by fans who know their small-press gems. His appearances are few and choice, concentrated in Venture and The Vic Bridges Fazers Sketchbook and Fact File, where he shares the page with a colorful cast including Blade, Halftron, Photon, and Cherry White. With only three catalog appearances, Brian Hart is exactly the kind of rare find that makes digging through back-issue bins such a thrill — a character whose scarcity only adds to his appeal for the dedicated collector.
