About the series
For over a decade, from 1945 to 1959, Brown Shoe Company published Buster Brown Comic Book, a promotional series that brought the iconic, mischievous boy in the pageboy haircut to a new generation of readers. Running 43 issues, the title featured a rotating roster of dependable talent, with regular writing from Hobart Donovan and Michael Gerbosi, and art by the likes of Ray Willner, Reed Crandall, and Dan Barry.
