Nugget

Nugget is a scrappy frontier adventurer from Marvel's Golden Age Western comics, riding alongside characters like Annie Oakley and Idaho Smith in the mid-century wave of two-fisted Western yarns.

Riding out of the Golden Age in 1948, Nugget is a Western comics character who debuted in The Westerner Comics #16, brought to life by artist Mort Lawrence. This scrappy figure from Marvel's mid-century frontier lineup shares the dusty trail with the likes of Annie Oakley, Idaho Smith, and Yucca Bates — a lively cast that speaks to the era's love of wide-open adventure and two-fisted Western yarns. With appearances spanning into the mid-1950s across both The Westerner Comics and Annie Oakley, Nugget is a genuine piece of Golden Age Western comics history — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector who loves digging into Marvel's rootin'-tootin' pre-superhero past.
