Grandpa Bracken

Grandpa Bracken is one of those quietly essential human anchors who give a wild, cosmic comic its emotional core — debuting in the very first issue of Image's Pitt in 1993, right at the dawn of the publisher's explosive arrival on the scene. Created by Dale Keown and Brian Hotton, he's been part of the Pitt universe from the ground floor, sharing the page with the towering Pitt himself alongside young Timmy Bracken, Rai-Kee, Jereb, and Kyte across a run stretching into the mid-nineties. With appearances in Pitt and Badrock & Company, this Copper/Modern Age character represents exactly the kind of grounded, human presence that makes larger-than-life Image action resonate — and for collectors chasing complete Pitt runs, he's a familiar and welcome face from issue one onward.
