Cowboys and Astronauts
Comic books, radio shows, and television introduced a cast of action characters to American schoolchildren.

Innovation shifted from the box to the action swirling around the outside. Manufacturers competed for rights to the latest horseback hero, fearless crime fighter, or Martian maiden. |
