A laid-back, somewhat mischievous young man, Dave is rarely found without the company of good mates Jim Bently and Andy Page.
Arguably, Dave's character first appeared in Lawson's short story, "Andy Page's Rival", though his character is named as Dave Bentley (note that the character of Jim Bently does not appear in this story). Dave is described in this story as "an old chum and mate of Andy's who had always liked, admired, and trusted him." This story was published in Lawson's collection "On The Track" in 1900. "The Iron-Bark Chip," which includes the characters of Dave Regan, Jack Bentley (most likely the character more commonly known as Jim Bently) and Andy Page was published in the same collection. So, too, was "The Mystery of Dave Regan" which includes Dave and Jim.
Possibly the most popular Dave Regan story would be Lawson's humorous The Loaded Dog, in which Dave's imaginative idea of fishing with explosives backfires when the cartridge is left unattended.
Edmund Clerihew Bentley, who generally published under the names E. C. Bentley or E. Clerihew Bentley, was a popular English novelist and humorist, and inventor of the clerihew, an irregular form of humorous verse on biographical topics.

Kalle Anka & C:o is a Swedish weekly Disney comics magazine, published by Egmont. The 52-page comic, launched in September 1948, is the overall best-selling Swedish comic magazine. In the early years, the comic printed translated stories from the United States, including Walt Disney's Comics and Stories, Four Color and other Dell Comics Disney titles. As Disney comics production waned in the United States in the 1960s, Kalle Anka began printing more European-produced content, from Scandinavia and Italy. Now, Kalle Anka & C:o and its Scandinavian sister editions Anders And & Co. (Denmark) and Donald Duck & Co (Norway) are identical, apart from the language.
