Dr. Rex Ward

Dr. Rex Ward is a Silver Age original, stepping onto the page for the first time in Star-Studded Comics #1 back in 1963 — a Howard Keltner creation who has quietly built one of the more remarkable longevity stories in independent comics, with a publishing history stretching an extraordinary six-plus decades into 2026. Home to the Big Bang universe, Ward shares his adventures with a colorful roster of characters including Dr. Weird, The Knight Watchman, and Ultiman — company that speaks to the rich, classic-hero flavor Big Bang Comics is beloved for celebrating. With 60 catalog appearances, a presence across Big Bang Adventures and Big Bang Comics as well as his historic debut title, and two collector-recognized key issues to his name, Dr. Rex Ward is exactly the kind of deep-cut Silver Age gem that rewards the curious fan willing to dig in.
