Lash LaRue Western #8

This Fawcett publication from 1950 features a striking photo cover of Lash LaRue astride a rearing black horse, all confidence and frontier swagger, with a smaller inset portrait of LaRue in the lower corner adding an extra touch of Western showmanship. Promising a full 52 pages of color adventures, issue #8 spotlights the story "Double-Dealing Justice" — a title that hints at the kind of morally charged range drama that made this series so appealing to Western fans of the era. At just a dime, it's a vivid snapshot of early 1950s cowboy-hero comics at their most energetic.
