Hopalong Cassidy, embodiment of wholesome American values, hops aboard the pre-Code gravy train of gratuitous violence in this pair of SOTI comics. Dr. Wertham summed it up well: "...It is about killing and socking people and twisting their arms and cutting their throats." The smaller giveaway comic comprises an extract from the larger, earlier comic.
