MAIN STORY
The series premiered in 1949. Stopped in 1956.

The series was ordered by the publisher mogul William Randolph Hearst, who stated: I need a vivid kind of adventure strip in the comic section incorporating American history and the youthful lives of our American heroes and how they developed into great men.
The main plot describes a teenager, who is constantly dreaming himself back in time to meet a host of famous people - beginning with Christopher Columbus! Later, he gets involved with Coronado, Pocahontas, Blackbeard, Davy Crockett, George Washington, and Robert Fulton - to name a few.
As time went on it became increasingly more difficult to 'dream up' more stories, Hearst was dead, and the series ceased. The full name of the series is Dick's Adventures in Dreamland.
