Lash LaRue Western #12

This Fawcett photo-cover gem from 1951 captures the all-black-clad Lash LaRue sharing an easy, smiling moment with his dark horse — a genuine warmth between rider and animal that makes the Western frontier feel almost inviting. Promising a full 52 pages of color adventures, the issue teases a story billed as "Murder by Accident," hinting at the kind of mystery-tinged Western action the series delivered so well. At just ten cents, this was a terrific deal for fans of the silver-screen cowboy in 1951.
