    Painted cover by Norman Saunders. Stories and art by Bill Woolfolk, Bob Laughlin and Carl Pfeufer. Fawcett's tales of Western heroes from folklore and the movies. Hopalong Cassidy seeks a missing geologist, and finds he's in danger of disappearing himself. Monte Hale faces "the melancholy master of malevolent mischief, a dandified desperado known as The Weeper" (no apparent relation to the 20th-century Bulletman foe, but the shtick is the same). Tom Mix tries to find a new water source when a greedy rancher demands half his neighbors' cattle in exchange for access to a stream. Plus a profusion of vintage comics-format ads, featuring mascots like R. C. & Quickie and Popsickle Pete. Hopalong Cassidy: The Shadow of Death; Monte Hale Meets the Weeper; Red Roan: Killer Wolf; Tom Mix and the Lost Creek. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
