Lord Patrick OBrian Keats

A creature of the Bronze Age DC cosmos, Lord Patrick OBrian Keats made his entrance in the pages of Weird Worlds #9 in 1974, conjured by the formidable creative partnership of Howard Chaykin and Denny O'Neil — a pairing that alone signals something worth seeking out. His handful of appearances span an intriguing range of titles, from Weird Worlds to Marvel's Savage Tales, suggesting a character who drifted through the wilder, more adventurous corners of early-'70s comics. He keeps rarefied company — sharing pages with the likes of Lord Ironwolf and Lady Vanessa Dubiel Shelly — and with only four catalog appearances to his name, Lord Patrick OBrian Keats is precisely the kind of rare Bronze Age discovery that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
