  Hopalong Cassidy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hopalong Cassidy #30, April 1949, published by Fawcett Comics.
Hopalong Cassidy is a fictional cowboy-hero, created in 1904 by Clarence E. Mulford and appearing in a series of popular stories and later novels.
Beginning in 1935, the character, played by William Boyd was transformed into a series of 66 immensely popular films, only a few of which were based on Mulford's works, but which led, in turn, to a comic book series modelled after the films, and an early 1950s television series also starring Boyd, with numerous tie-ins.
