Davy Crockett [Book and Record Set]

In 1981, Peter Pan Records released this single-issue comic-and-record set, part of their line of read-along adventures that paired a storybook with a vinyl soundtrack. Illustrated by Rich Buckler, the comic retells the legendary exploits of the frontiersman and folk hero Davy Crockett, from his backwoods origins to his iconic stand at the Alamo. Though brief, this entry stands as a snapshot of Peter Pan’s multimedia approach to children’s comics in the early 1980s.
