Hopalong Cassidy #2

The star-badged Hopalong Cassidy grips a revolver in one hand while wrestling away a knife with the other, locked in a tense barn-door standoff that makes it clear not every lawman wears his badge honestly. His white horse looms in the background against an open range, adding to the charged, sun-drenched atmosphere of this 1946 Fawcett release. At a dime for 68 full-color pages of rip-roaring Western adventure, this summer issue is a fine snapshot of Hoppy at his two-fisted best.
