With a career spanning over three decades, Faust wrote under numerous pseudonyms, but Max Brand became his most famous. His works under this pseudonym are iconic for their portrayal of the mythic West filled with stoic heroes, moral challenges, and a vivid frontier landscape. One of his remarkable works includes 'The Complete Dan Barry Chronicles,' encompassing all four westerns in one edition featuring the legendary gunslinger and his incessant exploration of fate and identity against the backdrop of the untamed West. Brand's narrative style is characterized by a brisk pace, a focus on action, and an intuitive understanding of the human psyche amidst the perils of nature and society.

Brand's legacy endures through the hundreds of stories, over 30 motion pictures, and the continued popularity of characters like Dan Barry. His literary style, which combined fast-paced action with an exploration of deeper themes, set the groundwork for many western writers who followed.
