MAIN STORY

The series premiered and stopped in 1955.

For decades Disney has made numerous feature films with actors. Several of the films were adapted for comic books in the Four Color series. One of the series is Davy Crockett, who is portrayed as one of the USAs most heroic persons in different roles*. Together with his close friend, George 'Georgie' Russel, he survives various dangerous encounters with unfriendly Indians and river pirates, but his righteousness and common sense sees them both through all hardships until their heroic demise.
The stories were written/drawn by a number of artists such as Jesse Mace Marsh (1907-1966), Giovanni 'John' Francesco Liggera (1913-1972), Michael 'Mike' H. Arens (1915-1976), Anthony 'Tony' Joseph Strobl (1915-1991), Del G. Connell (1918-2011), John Ushler (1919-1998).
In the Little Hiawatha series a character named Li'l Davy sometimes emerged. He resembles Crockett in overall appearance - but he is portrayed as being the same age as Hiawatha.

* The character of Davy Crockett is based on a real person. He was born David Stern Crocket (one T) and lived from 1786 to 1836. He was a soldier, pioneer, trapper, and politician.
