Lash La Rue Western #55

The "King of the Bullwhip" faces a pulse-quickening standoff on this 1955 Charlton cover, where Lash LaRue peers through a window frame with a revolver leveled point-blank at him from the foreground — a tense, close-quarters moment rendered with real dramatic punch by cover artist Stan Campbell. The story title "The Man Who Pursued Himself" hints at the kind of twisty Western mystery that kept readers coming back for more. At a dime a copy, this was solid frontier adventure starring one of the era's most distinctive cowboy heroes.
