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 avenge her murderer, he 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.
