MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1951. Stopped in 1958.

The primary character, Sergeant William Preston, is a so-called Mountie working for the North-West Mounted Police. He fights and catches villains in his vast territory, and to that end he has his dog, Yukon King, as his aid. It has never been established if the dog is a Malamute or a Huskie, because both breeds have been mentioned over the years.

Initially, the series began as a radio broadcast show from 1938 to 1951. The full title of the comic book series is Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.
