Derek "Digitial" Dally is a fictional character from the graphic novel Chandler: Red Tide (1976) by Jim Steranko. Derek used Telepathy to manipulate digital information, and was one of the first characters to address the brain-computer interface.
Derek contributed to an early version of the ARPANET, and was embattled in a fight to protect information from his communist arch-rival: "high-frequency" Henry. Throughout the novel, Henry attempted to hack into the ARPANET to gather intelligence about bomb design plans. Henry worked as a spy for the Soviets in a clandestine group known as the "Flash Boys".
