Hopalong Cassidy #40

This February 1950 Fawcett publication puts William Boyd's Hopalong Cassidy front and center, rifle in hand and sheriff's star gleaming, crouched in a tense standoff along the dusty storefronts of Twin River — while a red-shirted gunman takes aim from a doorway just behind him. Norman Saunders' cover work bristles with urgency, capturing that split-second before bullets fly with real western grit. Inside, the complete novelette "The Pursuit of Death" promises a full-length adventure worthy of that nail-biting scene.
