Walt Disney's Davy Crockett King of the Wild Frontier #1
"Young Davy Crockett" kicks off with a rugged rescue as the young frontiersman and George Russel save two Cherokee boys from a bear, bringing them home to their village. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated by John Ushler, this 1955 Dell comic captures the early days of Davy Crockett’s legend, with a quiet moment of camaraderie quickly shadowed by rising tension when Long Knife, wronged and banished, returns with a dark purpose. The cover by John Ushler sets the tone with a bold, classic image of the young Crockett in frontier gear, a 25-cent adventure from the golden age of comic storytelling.
