Davy Crockett

In the late 1950s, French publisher Editions Lug launched a short-lived, five-issue comic series based on the legendary American frontiersman Davy Crockett, capitalizing on the era's widespread Crockett craze. The series adapts Crockett's adventures as a soldier, hunter, and folk hero, presented in a European bande dessinée style. Though brief, this release is a notable artifact of mid-century European pop culture's embrace of American frontier mythology.
