Showcase Presents Jonah Hex

    (DC, 2005)
™ and © DC Comics, Inc.

It’s amazing how obscure titles can introduce legendary characters. Consider Swamp Thing from House of Mystery #92 and Jonah Hex from All Star Western #10.

As the introduction states, “Hero to some, villain to others, and wherever he rode people spoke his name in whispers,” Jonah Hex was all that: Friend. Murderer. Bounty hunter. Some called him cursed; others called on God for him to come rescue them. This collection of tales from All Star Western #2-8 and #10-11 and Weird Western Tales #12-14 and #16-33 contains all the elements that made readers admire the character in the first place. As much as readers may enjoy the “classic” Western hero, Jonah was cool. He was not always clean or compassionate but he always rode away with justice done one way or another. The art is stunning, even in black and white!

Even though this is not all Jonah, the “extras” are welcome additions.

— Tim Lasuita

From the Publisher:

He was a hero to some, a villain to others; and wherever he rode, people spoke his name in whispers. He had no friends, this Jonah Hex, but he did have two companions: one was death itself… the other… the acrid smell of gunsmoke.
