Hopalong Cassidy #85

Fawcett's long-running Western series reaches issue #85 with a cover that puts William Boyd front and center — dressed in his signature dark cowboy hat and neckerchief, flashing a warm smile and a friendly wave alongside the handwritten sign-off "Your pal, Hopalong Cassidy." It's the kind of direct, good-natured charm that made Boyd's portrayal of Hoppy a fixture of 1953 pop culture, and the promise of "more pages of your favorite comic character" means plenty of frontier adventure inside. With a story titled "The Mystery of the Live Corpse" waiting within, this issue delivers both the familiar warmth of the photo cover and the promise of a genuinely intriguing Western mystery.
