Lash LaRue Western #29

Fawcett's Lash LaRue Western #29 from June 1952 puts the black-clad cowboy hero front and center in a striking photo cover, coiled lasso in hand and his dark horse at his side — every inch the dependable frontier lawman. A bold oval badge across the bottom teases the story inside with the words "Marked for Murder!", promising plenty of tension in "The Silver Mask and the Black Star." At a dime a copy, this was exactly the kind of Saturday-afternoon Western adventure that kept readers coming back month after month.
