Strong Bow

A frontier hero born in the final years of the Golden Age, Strong Bow made his debut in All Star Western #83 in 1955, brought to life by the gifted team of John Broome and Howard Sherman. What's remarkable is the quiet staying power this DC character carries — a span stretching across some 31 years, from the mid-fifties all the way to 1986, and a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe that marks him as a character DC considered worth preserving for posterity. He shares the pages of his adventures with an eclectic cast including Starman, Starfire, and Syonide, suggesting a corner of the DC universe that rewards the curious digger. For collectors who love the Western and anthology tradition that gave early DC so much of its rugged character, Strong Bow is a genuine hidden gem.
