One of the interesting bits of information comtained in J. Hoberman's new book "The Dream Life" is a reference to a comic book called "John Wayne Action Adventures" which began publication in the late 1940s and lasted for about 3 years.Does anyone know about this? Was Wayne presented as himself, i.e., a movie star, or did the comics project some other sort of image for him? When I was young (the early 60s), DC published comic books with Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis as the hero, but aside from a few one-shot oddities (Prince, Alice Cooper), I don't know of any other comic books based on real celebrities.. ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.ScreenSite.org
