Lash La Rue Western #60

The cover of this 1956 Charlton publication crackles with frontier tension as a bearded outlaw on horseback makes a desperate getaway from the City Bank, clutching a money bag, while a determined figure in black uses a whip to try to stop him cold — with more pursuers spilling out of the bank doorway behind. A portrait inset of Lash LaRue himself keeps the hero's cool, sharp-eyed presence front and center, thanks to cover pencils by Charles Nicholas and inks by Vince Alascia. If "The Long Haul" promises action-packed Western adventure, this cover delivers every bit of that promise right from the first glance.
