Description

Happy Holidays everyone! The countdown to the New Year begins.

A rare Nick Cardy Bat Lash cover.

Bat Lash, written by Sergio Aragon�s and Denny O'Neil with Nick Cardy providing the gorgeous art. It ran for seven issues in 1968. A great short lived western title. Bat Lash was a self-professed pacifist, ladies' man, and gambler (akin to Mel Gibson's Maverick). It was a fun read plus did I mention the beautiful art by Nick Cardy. He draws great regular people and each with distinct looks. Lots of beautiful women too!

Bat lash, our handsome hero in a dire situation against a very Aragones like villain. I've always wanted a Bat Lash cover, glad to finally get one.

Bat Lash #5 by artist Nick Cardy. On a 11.5X17.5 board. 1968

This isn't what Little Big Man meant when he said you have to go snake-eyed.

Wicked cover!

Nice one by Nick !! He didn't use foreshortening on figures all that often. Great setup for the triangle design.

Congrats on this, Ceasar! Not only is it a really goodread with great art, but it was so short-lived that owning one of the very few covers in existence is also a true rarity!
