PRE CODE CLASSICS THE WHITE INDIAN VOL. 1 (SLIPCASE EDITION)

First introduced as ‘Dan Brand and Tipi’ in Magazine Enterprises ‘Charles Starret as the Durango Kid’ issue #1 from October/November 1949 – the White Indian was created by Frank Frazetta and Ray Krank. Dan Brand was the colonial ancestor of the Durango Kid. On his wedding day to Lucy Wharton, Lucy’s ex-boyfriend, Peter Bradford tried to shoot Brand. The bullet missed him and killed Lucy instead. After her funeral Dan left Philadelphia to the West – to hunt down Bradford! He was attacked by a bear, which he killed with his knife but was badly wounded. Luckily, the chief of the Catawbas, Great Eagle and Tipi, his young son found Dan and helped him recover. They invited him to stay with them, which he did for a year – until Bradford reappeared, now selling rum and weapons to the Catawbas’ rival tribes. Bradford killed Great Eagle and fought with Dan – who was now known as the White Indian, where Bradford plummeted off a cliff to his death!
