Rick Wild

Rick Wild burst onto the pages of IPC's Valiant in May 1970, a Silver Age British comics creation who kept lively company with the likes of Tim Kelly, Doc Diamond, and the memorably named Ches Nutt and Sir Mortimer Child-Beale. With only a handful of appearances across Valiant and Valiant and Smash!, Rick is a rare find — the kind of compact, characterful figure that makes flipping through early '70s British weeklies such a rewarding hunt for collectors who love discovering the road less travelled.
