Dandy

Bursting onto the scene in 1980 with AC Comics' Fun Comics #1 — a collector-recognized key issue right out of the gate — Dandy is a Bronze Age charmer born from the imagination of creator Bill Black. With only a handful of catalog appearances across Fun Comics and Bill Black's Fun Comics, this is a rare, boutique find, sharing pages with an eclectic roster that includes Clay Duncan, Page Connors, the wonderfully named Wee Willie Weehawken, Commando D, and Angel. Short runs can mean outsized personality, and for fans who love digging into the offbeat corners of independent Bronze Age publishing, Dandy is exactly the kind of hidden gem worth tracking down.
