Who is Buck Skinner?

Buck Skinner is a rugged frontier adventurer from DC's mid-1950s Western comics, operating in the buckskin-and-powder-smoke world of colonial America alongside fellow frontier heroes like Tomahawk and Dan Hunter.

Riding out of the mid-1950s frontier comics boom, Buck Skinner made his debut in DC's Frontier Fighters #2 in 1955, brought to life by the legendary Joe Kubert at the height of his powers. This rugged Western figure shares his adventures with the likes of Tomahawk, Tom Hawk, and Dan Hunter β€” some of DC's most beloved frontier heroes β€” which speaks to the rich, buckskin-and-powder-smoke world he inhabits. With appearances spanning Tomahawk and even Batman, Buck proves surprisingly versatile for a character with a compact footprint in the catalog. A genuine Kubert creation from the twilight of the Golden Age, he's a rewarding discovery for collectors digging into DC's underappreciated Western heritage.
