Dan Brand

Dan Brand is a Western frontier hero who debuted in Magazine Enterprises' Durango Kid comics, sharing adventures alongside figures including The Durango Kid and George Washington, suggesting stories set across American frontier history.

Few characters carry the dust of the Golden Age quite like Dan Brand, who rode onto the scene in 1949 courtesy of the talented team of Gardner Fox and Joe Certa in the pages of Charles Starrett as the Durango Kid #1 from Magazine Enterprises. Sharing his adventures with the likes of The Durango Kid, Tipi, Muley Pike, and even a historical figure as towering as George Washington, Dan Brand clearly moved through a richly populated world of Western and frontier storytelling. His appearances stretch across an impressive span — from 1949 all the way to 1990 — popping up across Billy the Kid Adventure Magazine and the Durango Kid titles, making him a quietly enduring presence in the ME Comics universe. For collectors with a taste for authentic Golden Age Western comics and the pioneering work of Gardner Fox, Dan Brand is a genuine find worth tracking down.
