BILL BOYD WESTERN

Bill Boyd starred as himself in this spin-off title of his most famous alter ego Hopalong Cassidy. To differentiate this from the Hoppy title, Boyd was given a different horse (Midnite instead of Topper). Apparently, issuing a western comic book under Hoppy’s real name wasn’t nearly as successful as the parent title as this title only lasted about two years, as compared to Hopalong’s 16-year reign between two different publishers (Fawcett and DC). However, most of the adventures were typical cowboy stuff, so for fans of the genre, these are a must. — Mark Arnold — Description from Comic Vine community (comicvine.gamespot.com · https://comicvine.gamespot.com/bill-boyd-western/4050-38330/).
