Davy Crockett

In the late 1950s, Finnish publisher Kustannus Oy Timantti brought the legendary American frontiersman to Nordic readers with Davy Crockett, a 51-issue series running from 1956 to 1960. Italian artist Gino D'Antonio was the most frequent visual storyteller for this comic, which captured the spirit of the iconic folk hero during the peak of the Crockett craze. This series stands as a distinctive European take on a classic American tall tale, offering a unique window into how the Alamo defender was celebrated abroad.
