Israel Boone

Silver Age adventurer Israel Boone burst onto the page in 1966, brought to life by artist Fred Fredericks in the pages of Avontuur Classics — a publication that clearly had a taste for rugged frontier spirit. Sharing his adventures with the likes of Daniel Boone, Rebecca Boone, and Mingo, Israel inhabits a richly populated world of wilderness drama and classic American frontier storytelling. His seven catalogued appearances across the Classics/Williams line make him a compact but genuine piece of mid-1960s comics history, the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector who loves digging beneath the surface of the Silver Age. If frontier adventure comics from the era hold a place in your heart, Israel Boone is a name worth tracking down.
