About the series
Andy Panda, the genial cartoon star of Walter Lantz's theatrical shorts, headlined his own comic series from Western Publishing from 1973 to 1978, a cheerful 23-issue run. Anchored by the reliable storytelling of Don R. Christensen, Carl Fallberg, and Stan Kay, the series brought a gentle, all-ages humor to the newsstand, with art by Jack Manning, Pete Alvarado, and John Carey. While a minor entry in the larger landscape of licensed comics, it stands as a fond, late-era showcase for the character, offering a slice of wholesome fun from the Silver Age's twilight.
