Daniel

A quiet piece of comics history, Daniel made his debut in the pages of Judge back in 1930 — squarely in the Platinum Age, when the medium itself was still finding its footing — brought to life by Otto Soglow, a cartoonist who would go on to become one of the era's most recognizable voices. With appearances spanning an remarkable arc from 1930 all the way to 2003, this character turns up across eclectic corners of the catalog, from Spectacular Features Magazine to The Bible: Eden, suggesting a quiet resilience across the decades. Three catalog appearances may be a modest footprint, but for collectors who love tracing the deep roots of American comics, Daniel is a genuine artifact of the form's earliest days.
