...was a western cowboy star who also had several series of comic books from  Fawcett, Toby and  Charlton  Comics.

The Fawcett comic book series ran for 50 issues from November 1948 to January 1953.

The Toby series ran for 1 issue in December 1953.

The Charlton comics series ran for 9 issues from December 1954 to January  1957.

Growing up in the 1950's I watched a lot of westerns on TV.  I didn't get to see many movies until the mid 1960's.  Possibly I saw later reruns of his children's western TV show, 'the Gabby Hayes Show' which originally ran 1950 - 1954.

Gabby Hayes was in 40 westerns between 1939 to 1946, usually with Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, or Wild Bill Elliott ! 

Gabby retired after his TV show played out...

Of all the early TV cowboys my favorite was Roy Rogers with his troupe, with Gene Autry a close second. 

I enjoyed seeing Gabby in old movies in the years gone by since, but had not thought much about him until running into a collection of Gabby Hayes comics a while back, which I have read and have put up for sale in our eBay Featured Store. 

For those interested in Gabby Hayes Comics run we have several unslabbed comics listed in our eBay Featured Store.
