Hopalong Cassidy #13

From Fawcett's long-running western series comes issue #13, dated November 1947, featuring a striking photo cover of William Boyd as Hopalong Cassidy — steady-eyed, sheriff's star on his chest, revolver in hand, with his trusty white horse standing close behind him beneath the trees. The cover bills the story as "The Human Target!," giving the whole scene a tense, watchful energy that western fans of 1947 would have found hard to resist. At just ten cents, this is a handsome snapshot of Hollywood's favorite cowboy hero in his Fawcett comics prime.
