Batton Lash was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He studied cartooning and graphic arts at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. After graduating, he took on various art-related jobs. For several years he shared a studio with other comic creators. In 1979, Brooklyn Paper Publications asked him to create a comic strip, and Lash came up with 'Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre', which ran in The Brooklyn Paper until 1996, and in The National Law Journal from 1983 to 1997. The comic was then renamed 'Supernatural Law' and generated a spin-off about Wolff and Byrd's assistant, Mavis.
