In these twisted tales of the Old West, Hex battles a doctor determined to transform him into a zombie, joins up with Buffalo Will's (yes, Will's) Wild West Show and learns the dark secret behind the existence of a demonic baby, and discovers an ancient race of man-eating worms from beneath the earth. Collects JONAH HEX- TWO-GUN MOJO #1-5, JONAH HEX- SHADOWS WEST #1-3 and JONAH HEX- RIDERS OF THE WORM AND SUCH #1-5. No library descriptions found. |

"He was a hero to some, a villain to others, and wherever he rode people spoke his name in whispers." - John Albano
One of my favorite authors takes on a comic book legend! And it works out all right! I think Lansdale's "Reverend" is much more my style, but his "Hex" isn't too bad at all! And both characters get their shot in the town of Mud Creek! You get three tales in here, my favorite being "Two-Gun Mojo" and my least favorite being "Riders of the Worm and Such" (though I love the title!) Jonah battles zombie Wild Bill Hickok, Lovecraftian worms, and then has to save a talkin' bear child! Not a bad way to spend the day reading! Just don't ask him how he got his scars... (
