Kim Brand

Silver Age Archie Comics has some genuinely underappreciated gems, and Kim Brand is one of them — debuting in The Mighty Crusaders #2 in 1966, courtesy of the legendary Jerry Siegel and artist Paul Reinman, this character stepped onto the page in some seriously electrifying company, sharing adventures with the likes of The Shield, Fly Girl, The Comet, and Tommy Troy. Across The Mighty Crusaders, Fly Man, and New Crusaders, Kim Brand has proven surprisingly durable, with a publishing history stretching all the way to 2024 — nearly six decades of appearances that speak to a quiet but real staying power in Archie's superhero universe. With 34 catalog appearances and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Kim Brand rewards the dedicated fan willing to dig into one of comics' most fondly remembered alternative superhero lines.
