Mike Danger

Mike Danger is a hardboiled noir detective who debuted in the Golden Age crime-comics era, co-created by Mickey Spillane. The character later saw a revival under Big Entertainment, carrying that pulp detective sensibility into a new era.

Few characters can claim both a Golden Age birth and a 1990s revival, but Mike Danger pulls it off with style — debuting in Crime Detector #3 in 1954, co-created by none other than hardboiled legend Mickey Spillane himself alongside Sam Burlockoff. That pedigree alone makes this character a collector's conversation piece, a noir-flavored figure who first prowled the page during comics' most fertile crime era before resurfacing decades later under Big Entertainment in Mickey Spillane's Mike Danger. With a span stretching from 1954 all the way to 1996, Mike Danger is a genuine rarity — a Golden Age creation who lived long enough to find a whole new generation of readers.
