Fawcett’s line of Western comic books was apparently so successful it even spun off titles featuring comedy relief characters. This brief run featured Andy Devine (1905-1977), best known for his heft and distinctive rasping voice, which took him through such films as Stagecoach (1939, he drove the team himself, no small feat) and TV shows Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok (1951-8), Andy’s Gang (1957-8), and Flipper (1964-5).
