Little Ax

Riding straight out of the Golden Age, Little Ax made their debut in Rangers Comics #40 in 1948, brought to life by the creative team of John Starr and Bob Lubbers. This compact piece of comics history shares their pages with a colorful frontier cast — including Firehair, Devil-Eye, Chief Tehama, and Lynn Cabot — suggesting a richly adventurous Western milieu. With appearances spanning an remarkable arc from 1948 all the way to 2025, Little Ax has quietly outlasted countless flashier contemporaries, turning up in Good Girl Art Quarterly alongside the flagship titles that first gave them life. Three catalog appearances may seem modest, but for devoted Golden Age enthusiasts and Lubbers admirers, that rarity is precisely the point.
