Lash La Rue Western #64

Charlton's Lash LaRue Western #64 from 1957 puts the "King of the Bullwhip" front and center, with cover art by Dick Giordano and Vince Alascia showing Lash cracking his signature whip against a desert backdrop of red mesas and cactus-dotted terrain. The cover promises the story "Jackpot Empire" as Lash grapples with a large, menacing figure, all while sporting his trademark black outfit and trusty holster. At a dime a copy, this Charlton Western delivered the kind of rugged, whip-snapping frontier action that made Lash LaRue a fan favorite throughout the decade.
