The longest comic-book run of Frank Frazetta's career!
First appearing as a backup feature in Durango Kid in 1949, Dan Brand - known
as the "White Indian" - is a colonial-era city boy whose life is
marred by tragedy. When the death of his fiancee sends Brand through the
wilderness on a trek to kill her murderer, he also begins a journey that will
transform him into a hardened pioneer survivalist. The powerful sequential work
of Frank Frazetta is in the spotlight in this collection, with all interior
pages scanned from original comic-book issues and digitally cleaned. As the
first White Indian story declares, "When our country was young... and the
truly great Americans were the intrepid pioneers of the backwoods, where the
woods were thick and sown with sudden death... the greatest of the backwoodsmen
was Dan Brand!" Join us as a wily pioneer and his sidekick Tipi brave the
wilds of the American "New World" and a young cartoonist takes an industry
by storm with his powerful talents in the 1940s and 1950s.
Originally published in 1974 by Napoletan Association it
consisted of 5 issues.
A 192 page volume was published of sixteen adventures.
Frank Frazetta (February 9, 1928 - May 10, 2010) is
considered by many as the greatest heroic fantasy designer of all time. His
work influenced generations of artists, fans, designers and directors. Frazetta
has redefined the concept of design legend thanks to the comic strips of the
1950s and the stunning cover of Tarzan, King Kong and John Carter of Mars:
Monster Magazines of the '60s, such as Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella; His most
important film posters, including After the Fox and Ciao Pussycat (What's New
Pussycat); And, of course, to his revolutionary paintings by Conan. This volume
collects all the sixteen adventures of White Indian made by the American
master.
