Hopalong Cassidy Western Comic Annual

Across two issues in 1959 and 1960, L. Miller & Son published Hopalong Cassidy Western Comic Annual, a short-lived but fondly remembered British comic annual featuring the iconic cowboy hero. The stories, most often written by Royal Cole and illustrated by Dan Spiegle, brought the classic Western adventures of Hoppy and his pals to a new audience across the Atlantic. While brief, the series is a charming snapshot of the enduring popularity of the character and the transatlantic appetite for cowboy comics in the late 1950s.
