Buster Crabbe

Buster Crabbe, published by Eastern Color from 1951 to 1953, was a 12-issue comic series starring the iconic actor and swimmer in adventure stories that capitalized on his movie-star appeal. The title primarily featured the art of Mike Roy, alongside Jack Farr and uncredited photo covers, blending pulp-style action with the era’s fascination with celebrity-led comics. While a short run, it stands as a curious artifact of 1950s pop culture, offering a glimpse into the crossover between Hollywood and the comic book industry.
