Rick O'Shay, Hipshot, and Me #[nn]

Stan Lynde's Rick O'Shay, Hipshot, and Me is a personal memoir that doubles as a celebration of his beloved Western comic strip, collecting 10 complete stories from the daily strip's run between 1959 and 1977. The cover, drawn by Lynde himself, brings together three figures in a relaxed, confident pose: a dapper cowboy in a black hat, a tall mustachioed gunfighter holding a rifle, and a fresh-faced young man wearing a sheriff's badge — with a small wildcat sitting at their feet. With an introduction by Charlton Heston, this 1990 Cottonwood Graphics volume is a warm, richly illustrated look behind the scenes of one of comics' most enduring Western strips.
