Lazarus Lane

Lazarus Lane is one of DC's quietly compelling Western figures, stepping onto the page in 1970 courtesy of creator Win Mortimer and carving out a niche across a remarkable 24-year span that stretches from the Silver Age well into the modern era. His catalog footprint is modest but meaningful — 17 appearances concentrated in some of DC's most atmospheric titles, from Weird Western Tales to Jonah Hex and even the later Guy Gardner: Warrior, suggesting a character with genuine staying power across wildly different storytelling contexts. Two of those appearances carry key-issue status, making him a rewarding find for collectors who dig into the dustier corners of DC's frontier mythology. He keeps serious company, sharing pages with the likes of El Diablo, Jonah Hex, and The Vigilante — a rogues' gallery of Western and vigilante icons that tells you everything about the gritty, morally complex world this character inhabits.
