Jim Hardy #1

Jim Hardy #1 The issue features two stories: In the "Windy and Paddles" tale on the cover, a cowboy character attempts to manage a spirited horse at a bus stop. The main "Jim Hardy" story by Dick Moores follows a man named Bess dealing with financial troubles related to horse racing; when Bess's prized racehorse "Blackie G" shows promise, characters scheme and plan around the potential winnings, with Bess ultimately hoping to train the horse to win a big race and solve his monetary problems. The story concludes with optimistic discussion of settling down at a ranch once Paddles wins the race.
