Ironwolf

For other uses, see Iron Wolf (disambiguation).

Ironwolf is a fictional character who appeared in the last three issues of Weird Worlds, a comics anthology series published by American company DC Comics from 1972 to 1974.[1]

Ironwolf was created by Howard Chaykin,[2] with Dennis O'Neil and Walt Simonson serving as writer and letterer for his stories. Ironwolf has no powers, but is an extraordinary hand-to-hand combat fighter. He is a master swordsman and highly skilled with the guns of his era. He sometimes uses antique 20th-century weapons like a .357 Magnum.

Ironwolf was influenced by the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robin Hood, and the 1948 film The Three Musketeers.[3]
