What Was John Wayne's First Comic Appearance?
John Wayne's first comic book appearance was in Movie Comics #2 (1939), published by DC Comics. This early comic featured stories based on his silver-screen persona as a rugged, courageous cowboy and hero of the American West. He later got his own dedicated title — the John Wayne Adventure Comics series published by Toby Press starting in 1949 — which ran for 31 issues and featured frontier and adventure tales that closely mirrored his iconic Western film roles.
