Lash La Rue Western #50

Charlton's Lash LaRue Western #50 brings the "King of the Bullwhip" to vivid life on this 1954 cover penciled by Dick Giordano and inked by Vince Alascia — showing the black-clad Lash astride his dark horse, whip cracking as he sends a red-shirted outlaw sprawling to the ground, while a third figure lurks with a rifle atop the rocky terrain behind them. The dynamic composition captures everything that made this western hero so compelling: action, horsemanship, and that signature bullwhip doing the heavy lifting. A fine chapter in Charlton's run of frontier adventure, with the interior "Lumber Camp Mystery" promising more of the same frontier intrigue.
