John Wayne Adventure Comics Collection - Vol. 1 (B&W Edition): Adventures of the #1 American Cowboy

By Richard Buchko

John Wayne (born Marion Robert Morrison, 1907-1979) stands in a league all by himself when it comes to being an American Cowboy Star. He was an actor, but he came to symbolize the rugged, courageous, and adventurous spirit of the American West. When young "Duke" Morrison came to the studios of Hollywood in the 1920s he was befriended by an old man, someone who lived the legends that John Wayne would later portray, and who would be the template from which John Wayne would pattern his lawmen --- that man was Wyatt Earp. Wayne played many parts that were not westerns, and a few of those are presented in this book, but in the world psyche he will always be the ultimate cowboy. The comic reprints from Calumet History and Hobby are reproduced from actual classic comics, and sometimes reflect the imperfection of books that are decades old. These books are constantly updated with the best version available - if you are EVER unhappy with the experience or quality of a book, return the book to us to exchange for another title or the upgrade as new files become available.
