Muley Pike

Riding into comics in 1949 courtesy of Gardner Fox and Joe Certa, Muley Pike is a Golden Age original who made his mark in the pages of Charles Starrett as the Durango Kid — one of Magazine Enterprises' beloved Western titles. Across a publishing span that stretches a remarkable four decades, Muley keeps rugged company alongside the Durango Kid himself, Steve Brand, and Dan Brand, placing him squarely in the heart of that sun-baked, action-packed frontier world ME did so well. With appearances also logged in Best of the West, this scrappy Western character has quietly outlasted many flashier contemporaries. For collectors with a soft spot for Golden Age Westerns and the distinctive charm of Magazine Enterprises, Muley Pike is exactly the kind of find that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
