Lash LaRue Western #2

Fawcett's Lash LaRue Western #2 from November 1949 features a striking photo cover of the whip-wielding cowboy hero, dressed in his signature dark outfit and wide-brimmed hat, coiled rope in hand and a wary look in his eye — every inch the two-fisted westerner ready for trouble. The bold cover banner promises "The Perfect Hide-Out!" inside, giving readers a tantalizing hint of the adventure awaiting them. At just ten cents, this Fawcett publication delivered frontier excitement in a package that perfectly captured the rugged charisma of one of the era's most distinctive western heroes.
