I remember comic books that featured real-life celebrities (actors, musicians, etc) as themselves, and told of the adventurous lives they led outside their primary professions. Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine posted about a 1949 comic book with Alan Ladd as the adventurous hero.
"In the comics Ladd was presented as what he was, a movie star, albeit a star who got into adventures apart from his movie career. According to the Grand Comics Database, "The Damascus Diamond," from Alan Ladd #1, is drawn by Joe Certa and Sy Barry. It takes its plot from The Maltese Falcon."
