Hopalong Cassidy #127

Hopalong Cassidy trades his trusty white stallion Topper for an unlikely mount in this 1958 DC Western — the cover by Gil Kane and Joe Giella shows Hoppy leaping onto a scrappy burro mid-pursuit, hat flying, while outlaws on horseback race away in the background. The featured story, "Secret of the Outlaw-Burro!" promises that this four-legged underdog holds the key to running down the bad guys. It's a charming, offbeat setup that gives the long-running series a fun twist on the classic cowboy-and-horse formula.
