Andy Panda was Walter Lantz last major animated cartoon creation before he created his signature character, Woody Woodpecker. Andy first appeared in animated form in the cartoon short “Life Begins for Andy Panda” in 1939. Dell Publishing eventually published “Andy Panda” for over a decade before finally canceling the title in 1961. 12 years later, this Gold Key series debuted, restarting the numbering with #1, and featuring nothing but reprints from the earlier series. Backup features included ones starring Lantz lightweight Charlie Chicken.
