Daniel Boone

Few characters carry the weight of American frontier legend quite like Daniel Boone, who strode into Silver Age comics in 1965 courtesy of artist Fred Fredericks. Rooted in the rich tradition of Western adventure comics, this frontier icon turns up across titles including Daniel Boone and Star Western, keeping the spirit of the wilderness alive on the page. The fact that his catalog presence stretches across an impressive 36 years speaks to the enduring romance readers have always felt for the buckskin-clad pioneer. A modest but genuine slice of Western comics history worth tracking down for any fan of the genre's golden stretch.
