David McMann

Born into the independent comics scene of 1986, David McMann is a Firebird Press original — the kind of character who reminds you just how much creative energy was bubbling outside the Big Two during the Copper Age. Brought to life by Sherman Burnett in Energons #1, McMann carved out a niche across a handful of titles including Firebird Press Presents and Quasar and Micron, sharing pages with a roster of colorfully named figures like Quasar, Vortex, Neutron, and Twister. With 13 catalogued appearances across a run stretching into the early '90s, he's a compact but genuine piece of indie comics history — exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through the back-issue bins so rewarding.
