Davey Landis

Davey Landis made his entrance in the Golden Age, debuting in IGA Adventure Comics in 1941 under the hands of creator duo Robert Turner and Jim Mooney — names that carry real weight in the history of the medium. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of Golden Age material that Davey's adventures have found their way into print as recently as 2020 through Gwandanaland Comics, the dedicated reprinter keeping these vintage tales alive for modern collectors. In those original pages he shared company with some genuinely colorful figures of the era — Magno, Lash Lightning, and the Unknown Soldier among them — making his corner of the Golden Age a lively one. For fans hunting the roots of American comics or completing their appreciation of Jim Mooney's early work, Davey Landis is a rewarding piece of the puzzle.
