Lash LaRue Western #19

Fawcett's Lash LaRue Western #19 brings the silver-screen cowboy straight to the page in a striking photo cover, showing LaRue dressed head-to-toe in black — hat, shirt, chaps, and boots — with a revolver in one hand and a coiled lasso in the other, poised against a sun-baked frontier backdrop. This 1951 issue promises a complete Western novelette with "Struggle in the Wilderness," kicking off with "The Indian Rampage" — an adventure that sounds as rugged as the desert setting behind him. At a dime a copy, this was prime Saturday-matinee excitement translated right onto the comic rack.
