Lash La Rue Western #63

Charlton's Lash La Rue Western #63 captures the whip-cracking frontier hero at his most dynamic — clad in his signature all-black outfit, Lash stands his ground on a rocky outcrop, his long whip already in motion as a snarling wolf closes in from one side and a prowling bear threatens from the other. Maurice Whitman's cover art conveys the tension of a man outnumbered by wild predators yet utterly unflinching, a fitting image for a book that promises "Action Packed Adventures." Inside, Joe Gill's script — with art by Whitman and inks by Dick Giordano — delivers a story intriguingly titled "Flowers for Miss Cora," a welcome reminder that the West had room for both danger and a touch of heart.
