Lash LaRue Western #33

Lash LaRue stares coolly from the cover of this October 1952 Fawcett Western, his black hat and six-shooter front and center — every inch the no-nonsense frontier hero. A vivid inset illustration reinforces the action-packed promise of the featured story, "Target for Highwaymen," showing a gun-drawing standoff in full color. It's a sharp blend of photo realism and comic art energy that captures the rugged appeal of one of the era's most recognizable cowboy stars.
