Rick O'Shay and Hipshot: The Price of Fame

Stan Lynde, the creator of the classic newspaper strip Rick O'Shay, returned to his beloved Western characters with this 1992 Cottonwood Graphics series. Spanning two issues, The Price of Fame follows the cowboy Rick and the gunslinger Hipshot as they confront the complications of sudden celebrity in the Old West. Lynde wrote and illustrated every page, bringing his signature warmth and humor to a story that explores the human cost of notoriety. This series stands as a heartfelt, self-contained epilogue to one of the most fondly remembered syndicated strips.
