Hopalong Cassidy #111

America's favorite cowboy rides again in this 1956 DC Western, with Hopalong Cassidy — starring William Boyd — front and center in his signature black outfit, sheriff's star on his chest, holding the reins of his white horse while studying a wanted poster whose outlaw face has been deliberately blacked out. In the background, a mysterious gunman has the drop on Hop, taunting him with the words "You'll never get a chance to find out, Cassidy!" — setting up the featured story, "Sheriff Cassidy's Mystery Clue!" with an irresistible puzzle right on the cover. Gene Colan's pencils and Joe Giella's inks give the scene a crisp, dramatic energy that makes this ten-cent issue a fine showcase for one of the Western genre's most enduring heroes.
