Hopalong Cassidy #129

Hopalong Cassidy rides hard at the edge of a sheer cliff in this June 1958 DC Western, his white horse rearing as he fires his pistol toward a thundering stampede of cattle threatening to plunge into an earthquake fault below. The cover — penciled by Gil Kane and inked by Joe Giella — captures the desperate urgency of the moment with real Western flair, Hoppy's black outfit cutting a sharp silhouette against a stormy purple sky. Inside, the featured story "Hopalong Cassidy's Indian Sign!" is brought to life by writer John Broome with art by Gil Kane and inks by Bernard Sachs, making this a solid entry in DC's long-running cowboy series.
