Lash La Rue Western #51

Stan Campbell's cover for this 1954 Charlton issue puts the "King of the Bullwhip" front and center — Lash LaRue, portrayed in a inset portrait above a tense second-story showdown where his signature whip snaps a pistol right out of a gunman's hand. A third armed figure lurks below, making it clear that the story inside, "Two Killers," earns its title. It's a crisp, kinetic snapshot of why Lash LaRue — the flashing, lashing two-gun cowboy of TV and screen — made for such natural comic book material.
