David Innes

David Innes is a mining heir who, while testing an experimental mechanical mole with inventor Abner Perry, burrows deep into the Earth and breaks through into Pellucidar — a prehistoric hollow-Earth world of savage tribes and ancient beasts — where he becomes an unlikely hero.

David Innes made his comics debut in the pages of The Menomonee Falls Gazette in 1972 — a Bronze Age arrival brought to life by none other than Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the legendary duo who changed comics history forever. Rooted in Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic pulp mythology, this adventurer shares his pages with the likes of Tarzan, Korak, and the steadfast Abner Perry and Dian, placing him squarely in that rich tradition of larger-than-life heroic fiction. His appearances span an impressive stretch from 1972 all the way to 2015, turning up in Weird Worlds and the handsome Tarzan: The Complete Russ Manning Newspaper Strips collection along the way. For fans of classic adventure comics and Burroughs devotees especially, David Innes is a name absolutely worth seeking out.
