"Lash" LaRue

Looking through randomly downloaded cowboy comics, I randomly became interested in lasso cowboy-vigilante Lash LaRue. Obviously he was enough of a performer that he had a media empire built up around him, enough to include a comic book series that ran 84 issues. And yet…see news item below…he had problems.

The “Lash” LaRue comic book was published by Fawcett. At first Lash didn’t see a dime from the comic book—it was considered good publicity and that was enough, the exposure.
