The Amazing Adventures of Buster Crabbe

The Amazing Adventures of Buster Crabbe, published by Frew Publications in 1955, is a two-issue comic series built around the real-life Olympic swimmer and movie star, Buster Crabbe. Written by Bill Woolfolk with art by Mort Leav, the series capitalized on Crabbe’s fame from his roles in Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. Though brief, it stands as a curious snapshot of mid-century celebrity tie-ins, offering a unique blend of pulp adventure and athletic heroism.
