  Maverick (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maverick is a comedy-western television series created by Roy Huggins that ran from September 22, 1957 to July 8, 1962 on ABC and featured James Garner, Roger Moore, and Jack Kelly as poker-playing traveling gamblers.
Maverick bucked the trend by not being a particularly fast draw with a pistol, but like all TV cowboy heroes of the era, he was almost superhumanly impossible for anyone to beat in any sort of a fistfight (perhaps the one cowboy cliche that Huggins left intact, reportedly at the insistence of the studio).
Which Maverick brother happened to be the oldest was purposely left ambiguous, with both Bret and Bart emphatically claiming to be the youngest whenever the topic came up in conversation with a woman, but Jack Kelly was a year older than James Garner in life.

The Maverick Annual is bigger this year because Chris Warner suggested to me that people would be more inclined to purchase a larger anthology rather than, you know, a 48-page comic that you can roll up and stick in your back pocket.
