Hopalong Cassidy

In the early 1950s, Swedish publisher Serieförlaget brought the iconic Western hero Hopalong Cassidy to Scandinavian readers with a self-titled comic series. Running for 18 issues, the book adapted the adventures of the straight-shooting cowboy, capitalizing on the character's massive popularity from films and the emerging TV market. While specific creators are uncredited in these facts, the series stands as a notable example of mid-century European licensing of American pulp and screen icons, offering a distinct cultural lens on the Wild West.
