Hopalong Cassidy #61

This November 1951 Fawcett issue puts William Boyd front and center in his full Hopalong Cassidy regalia — black hat, black outfit, twin six-guns drawn and ready — with his striking white horse standing alongside him near a wooden post. The photo cover has a real cinematic energy to it, capturing the two-fisted frontier spirit that made Hoppy a household name in the early '50s. Inside, the story "The Smoke of Injustice" promises exactly the kind of righteous Western action fans of the series were always happy to find at the newsstand for just a dime.
