MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1966. Stopped in 1967 after 7 issues.

This comedy series is set at the fictitious Fort Courage in Kansas in the time following the American Civil War. The old Wild West outpost is the dumping ground for fairly useless soldiers and misfits, and they spend most of their time wheeling and dealing with each other and with the nearby Indian tribes.

The series is built on a satirical TV series that aired from 1965 to 1967. The title was F Troop, but in the comic book series the title was slightly altered to F-Troop.
