With Action and Suspense, Out of the Old West Comes the Most Famous Hero of Them All...


This is a pen and india ink wash  of William Boyd in his role as Hopalong Cassidy.  It was a Christmas present to my mother who loved the radio serials and television series as a kid.  Looking back, I can blame my ongoing obsession with radio drama on both Hoppy and the Lone Ranger.  When I was very young a local radio station decided to air some of the old broadcasts of both shows and my parents let me stay up to listen hoping I would love them as much as they did as children.  Well, I did and those late broadcasts have snowballed over the years into a true pulp obsession.  Hope you like it.
