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. |

The First
(and Best) of the Weird Westerns
This is a prime example
of why comics deserve more respect from the general, literate public. Lansdale
and Truman recreate the character of Jonah Hex and pit him against a supernatural
(?) menace. The art is gritty and real, the dialogue is crisp and clear
as a desert sunrise. Best line? "That's Jonah Hex his own damn self. He's
killed more men than hell has souls." If you like westerns with an
edge, this is for you. If you're a horror fan wanting a creepy story, this
is for you. Check it out. It won't dissapoint. |

| Hex Holds
You In Its Spell
This book is probably one
of the best comics in recent history. Lansdale and Truman's styles mesh
into a cohesive package of grit and laughs, breathing new life into the
once-thought-dead genre of the western comic. Lansdale's strong narrative
voice grabs the reader by the neck and and holds him there until the final
panel. Be sure to pick up the 5 issue miniseries that follows, RIDERS OF
THE WORM AND SUCH, as well... |
