Hopalong Cassidy #25

Fawcett's Hopalong Cassidy #25 (1948) promises "a complete issue of hair-splitting Western action," and Norman Saunders' cover delivers the tension immediately — a silver-haired cowboy in a red shirt crouches low in the foreground while a figure in purple scrambles desperately across the open range, a rearing black horse looming behind them against a rugged mesa landscape. Starring William Boyd as the beloved frontier hero, this issue pairs that striking painted cover with Frank Bolle's interior art on "Prisoners of Greed!" For fans of classic range adventures, this one's a genuine treat.
