Book excerpt: He was Alfred "Lash" LaRue (1917-1996), star of dozens of films, TV appearances, and over 100 issues of a comic title that sold over a million copies from 1949-1961. Lash Larue was different from other cowboy stars, because he was more likely to bring the bad guy down with his bullwhip than with a gun, in theaters LaRue showed young audiences live demonstrations of his skills (he was even the man who taught Harrison Ford how to use the whip as Indiana Jones), and he was promoted to a starring role after starting off as a sidekick! From 1941-1952 Charles Starrett (1903-1986) played THE DURANGO KID, popular cowboy in over 60 films during the heyday of the Cowboy Star. Paired with a variety of sidekicks and horses, the black-masked hero made the Wild West a safer place. From 1949-1956 THE DURANGO KID hit the comic newsstands, too, and now you can once again (or, for the first time) enjoy these terrific adventures! He was George Francis "Gabby" Hayes (1885-1969), one of the most prolific and well-known western actors of the 20th Century. Although he was in his 40s before he made his first film, Gabby Hayes played good guys and bad guys, but was best known as a sidekick to such Western stars as Gene Autry, John Wayne, Roy Rogers, Randolph Scott, and many more - and for a time was one of the wealthiet and most successful actors in Hollywood. The comic reprints from Calumet History and Hobby are reproduced from actual classic comics, and sometimes reflect the imperfection of books that are decades old.
