Alfred “Lash” LaRue (June 15, 1917–May 21, 1996) was a popular western motion picture star of the 1940s and 1950s. He had exceptional skill with the bull whip and taught Harrison Ford how to use a bullwhip in the Indiana Jones movies. LaRue was one of the first recipients of the Golden Boot Awards in 1983.
Lash LaRue was a roving U. S. Marshal who with his horse Black Diamond (some times called Rush) patrolled the American West righting wrongs and giving lectures about right and wrong and whip safety.
Although he carried a gun, he was noted for preferring to use an 18 foot long bull whip which confronting the bad guys, Lash was so proficient with the whip that he could do more than just battle with one of his more common stunts being saving people about to fall to their doom by wrapping the whip around them, often while at full gallop on Black Diamond, and pulling them to safety. Lash was also known for always wearing black.
He was often opposed by his identical twin brother, a villain known as the Frontier Phantom.
Alfred “Lash” LaRue (June 14, 1921–May 21, 1996) was one of many actors in the 40s and 50s who spent most of his career making B-Westerns, originally hired because he looked enough like Humphrey Bogart that producers thought this would draw in more viewers, along with using his real last name as the name for most of his film characters LaRue also used his real skill with a whip to make his screen character presents more unique.
The comic book series that was named after his screen character was one of the most popular Western Comics published, running for 12 years at Fawcett and then Charlton.

Lost in Space was a comic book published by Innovation Comics, based upon the television series Lost in Space. It utilized the settings and characters from the series, but was set years after the end of the series, and featured older characters coming to terms with being cut off 
from Earth for so many years.

In the 1980s, Bill Mumy (who played Will Robinson on the series) had tried, and failed, to convince Irwin Allen to allow production of a Lost in Space film for theatres or TV. In 1991, a fledgling publisher called Innovation Comics began to produce an ambitious, high-quality Lost in Space comic, which was authorized and licensed. It was scripted by Mumy himself, and his intention was to reflect the more serious tone of the first season episodes, but this was somewhat undercut by artwork that sexualized the characters of Judy and Penny Robinson, prompting some exasperated notes from Mumy in the editorial pages.


The comic also established a romantic triangle between Judy, Penny (now depicted as someone in her late teens), and Don that was not present in the original series.

One storyline in this comic book retcons the “serious episodes”—which some critics claim ended about a third of the way through the first season—as excerpts from Prof. Robinson’s log, while the more humorous episodes were taken from Penny’s diary. Also suggested is the idea that Dr. Smith is working with some of the aliens encountered in the early episodes, rather than with any terrestrial source, as evidenced by his efforts to make radio contact with some third party after the Jupiter II has left Earth.)

Lost in Space was Innovation’s best selling property, outselling all their other comics combined. The comic only managed to run for 18 issues, 2 annuals and 1 of 2 issues of a miniseries however, but not because of poor sales. Innovation’s ambitious projects couldn’t keep ahead of their bottom line, and the company went out of business.

While this left a major story arc unresolved, a trade paperback entitled
 “Voyage to the Bottom of the Soul” was later published, completing the story.
