Print Media
During the years 1953 to 1960, comic annuals were published by World Distributors, Daily Mirror and Purnell. Second-hand copies of these may be obtained, from time to time, from sources such as Amazon Books. 'Ricky North' became 'Ricky West' in these, as with the radio serial.
Champion also had his own comic book, Gene Autry's Champion, published by Dell Comics from 1951 to 1955, which continued as Gene Autry and Champion from 1955 to 1959.
Starting from the issue dated 4 June 1966, Champion the Wonder Horse ran as a comic strip in the UK comic Buster. Minor characters in the strip included Sheriff Sean Kelly, Gentleman Tom, the bare-knuckle boxing champion, Dick Crabtree, the town's ambulance-chasing lawyer, and Nicky Brandwood, queen of the saloon.
