Hopalong Cassidy #76

This February 1953 Fawcett issue puts William Boyd front and center in his signature black hat and outfit, both six-guns drawn and aimed straight at the reader — a suitably commanding presence for the West's most dependable lawman. Four stories are promised inside, including Hank Spector's "The Mystery Message of Mayhem," alongside "The Living Dead Man!," "Six-Gun Murder!," and "The Perilous Note!" — a packed lineup that delivers on the cover's bold promise of more pages of stories.
