Red Feather

Red Feather is a Western frontier character who appeared in Ziff-Davis Golden Age comics, sharing adventures with Kid Cowboy and other cowboy heroes across titles including Kid Cowboy and Approved Comics, with early artwork by a young John Buscema.

A piece of genuine Golden Age treasure, Red Feather first rode onto the page in 1950 — drawn by none other than a young John Buscema, years before he became one of Marvel's most celebrated artists. Published by Ziff-Davis and woven through the sun-baked pages of Kid Cowboy and Approved Comics, this character shares frontier adventures alongside the likes of Kid Cowboy, Randy Dix, and The Singing Cowboy across a run that stretched into the mid-fifties. With only 13 catalog appearances, Red Feather is exactly the kind of rare, quietly compelling find that reminds collectors just how rich and varied the Golden Age Western genre truly was — and that early Buscema art alone makes tracking these issues a worthy quest.
