Louis Crandell

A creation of the Silver Age British comics scene, Louis Crandell made his debut in Valiant #13 in 1962, brought to life by R. Charles Roylance for IPC's beloved weekly anthology. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, he's a rare find — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated digger — sharing his pages with a wonderfully eclectic cast including Jack O'Justice, Count Vronsky, and the memorably named "Maggot" Malone. For collectors with a passion for the rich, often-overlooked world of British comics, Louis Crandell is exactly the sort of hidden gem that makes flipping through old Valiant issues such a rewarding adventure.
