Rick Strong

Pete Morisi's Rick Strong stepped onto the Silver Age stage in 1966 through Charlton's Thunderbolt — that scrappy, beloved publisher whose titles carried a genuine underdog charm all their own. Over a twelve-year run, Rick shared the page with a colorful cast including Thunderbolt, Crunch Wilson, The Brute, Helio, and Cindy Carson, making him a recurring presence in one of Charlton's more action-packed corners. With only eight catalogued appearances he's a true deep-cut discovery, the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector digging through those distinctive Charlton covers — a small but authentic piece of Silver Age history worth seeking out.
