Okay, this is the sort of little mystery that turns me into a midnight sleuth—I love it. My immediate thought was to consider common near-misses: maybe you meant 'Li'l Abner' (created by Al Capp), or perhaps it's a localized/translated moniker for a character whose original name was 'Little Brother' or something similar. Different publishers handle credits differently, so here’s a quick toolbox I use:

- Find the first appearance and check the indicia (legal box) inside the issue or trade; that usually lists writer, artist, and sometimes character creation credits.
- Use the Grand Comics Database and Comic Vine search terms; they index first appearances and creator credits.
- For older newspaper strips, look at syndicate records or anthologies—those usually credit the original cartoonist.

If it's from a smaller press or a foreign language comic, the creator might be a single cartoonist who both wrote and drew it, and those names are often in the comic's front matter or on the publisher's page. I can help chase it down if you give me a cover image, a quote, or even the year it was published.

I get the vibe you might be talking about a character whose name got a little mangled in memory, because there isn't a widely known original-comics character literally named "li'l brother" that jumps out of my comic-book brain. If you actually mean 'Li'l Abner', that one was created by Al Capp and ran as a syndicated strip for decades.

If that’s not it, here's what I do when a name like this trips me up: check the indicia or credits page in the comic (that tiny box usually lists writer, artist, and publisher), look up the issue on the Grand Comics Database or Comic Vine, and try a reverse-image search on the character. If it's from a non-US comic, track the original publisher and language—sometimes names change in translation. Send a panel or cover if you can and I’ll happily dig in further for you.

I've chased down weird little character names plenty of times, so I feel you on this one. Short version: there isn't a famous original-comics character exactly called 'li'l brother' in the mainstream Western catalog that I can point to by creator with confidence. That said, it's easy to misremember capitalization or an apostrophe—comic strips like 'Li'l Abner' (Al Capp) often get mixed up with other similarly styled names.

If this is from an indie or webcomic, the creator credit might be right on the site or in the first strip’s comments. For print comics, the indicia is your best friend—if you can peek at issue #1 or the collected edition’s credits you'll typically see who wrote and drew the first appearance. If you want, drop a screenshot or the publication year/issue and I’ll try to narrow it down.

I'm leaning toward asking for a bit more context because 'li'l brother' by itself doesn't ring a definitive bell for a mainstream original comic creation. If you actually meant 'Li'l Abner', that was created by Al Capp; if not, it could be an indie strip, a translated name, or even a nickname used in a particular storyline.

Quick tips: scan the first issue's credits, check the back matter of any collected edition, or post a panel to a comics-identification community—Reddit's comics subs and the Grand Comics Database are super helpful. If you toss me a screenshot or say where you saw it, I’ll take a look and try to name the original creator for you.
