Indexer Notes

Certa is credited on Hopalong Cassidy by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. The faces of the crooks, with long mustache, wavy eyebrows and marked cheekbones, is typical of Certa. Very similar to many of his Durango Kid stories.

Synopsis

Everybody in Twin Rivers knows that Prairie Jones likes to make up tall tales, but two unscrupulous actors believe him when he tells of his hidden gold.

Indexer Notes

Quinlan is credited on pencils on Hopalong Cassidy by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and the art with movement and faces, is very similar to his credited story in Catman #25 and 26a. Inking looks a bit like Elkan, but uncertain.
