Hopalong Cassidy #44

William Boyd flashes a confident grin on this 1950 Fawcett cover, dressed in his trademark black cowboy hat and dark outfit, with a revolver in hand and a star badge catching the light — every inch the silver-screen Western hero. The bold yellow logo and a painted desert backdrop set the scene perfectly for the complete Western novelette promised inside: "The Ghost Rider!" It's a fine snapshot of mid-century cowboy comics at their most charming.
