East Texan Joe Lansdale didn't start out as a writer of comics, but he had always admired two DC characters, Jonah Hex and Batman, for their quality of being "dark knights." Jonah Hex is no sleek crusader, though: He's ugly, bizarre, and "just damn ornery." This bound mini-series of five comic books is about a man of the old South in a splatter-western world--a world of weird horror and macabre humor. With wicked full-color art by Timothy Truman and Sam Glanzman.
