Hopalong Cassidy #119

This November 1956 DC western finds Hopalong Cassidy — starring William Boyd — in a tight spot, as the cover by Gene Colan and Joe Giella shows a white-haired villain pressing a loaded revolver against Hoppy while boasting he's removed the bullets from Cassidy's own gun, with two more armed outlaws looming in the background. The scene crackles with that particular tension only a double-cross can deliver, setting the stage for the featured story, "The Dream Sheriff of Twin Rivers!" As a bonus, the issue includes details and an entry blank for a Giant $5,000 Prize Contest — making this one a lively package from cover to contents.
