From 1947-48 he drew the Tarzan daily strip, then in 1951 revived the Flash Gordon daily strip. At different times science fiction writers Harry Harrison and Julian May both contributed scripts to the series. In addition, at various times during his tenure, he was assisted in his artwork by a number of artists including Bob Fujitani, Fred Kida and Frank Frazetta. When artist Mac Raboy died in 1967, Barry assumed responsibility of the Flash Gordon Sunday strip also. In 1990, he left Flash Gordon altogether, when the syndicate, King Features asked him to take a cut in pay.
His last work was for Dark Horse Comics, where he wrote and drew many Indiana Jones comic books.
Dan Barry's brother, Sy Barry, was an artist on The Phantom.
