The comic starred Joshua Brand, the son of a half-Sioux father and an Irish mother, who returns as an adult to the reservation he ran away from as a child. Discovering he mystically possesses the powers of all animals and the Earth itself, he becomes the protector of the planet. The book often dealt with ecological and animal rights issues.
Jon Sable guest starred in issues #5-9 of the series (May 1993 - Aug 1995), his first appearance since the cancellation of the First Comics series Sable in 1990.
