Lash LaRue Western
Fawcett · 1949–1954 · 46 issues
About the series
From 1949 to 1954, Fawcett Publications brought the whip-cracking adventures of movie cowboy Lash LaRue to the comics page, blending photo covers with interior art by talents like Stan Campbell. The series followed the Roving Marshall and his horse Black Diamond through Western frontier tales, often pitting him against recurring foes such as the Frontier Phantom and Doctor Fred Kure. With a rotating roster of writers including Lit-Win, R. R. Symes, and Westbrook Wilson, this 46-issue run captured the tail end of the classic Western comic boom. It stands as a faithful, period-specific adaptation of a B-movie star, offering a snapshot of how Hollywood cowboys transitioned into four-color adventures.
