Revisiting my own collection, here's a beauty. Joe R Lansdale and Tim Truman on the scarred ex-Confederate Civil War veteran bounty hunter. Hex is one of those fought-for-my-land-not-for-slavery types one tends to look on with some skepticism nowadays, but there isn't much in the way of soft nostalgia for ol' Dixie in these pages. The whole thing is mean and ornery and wild and violent.
Two Gun Mojo sees Hex, after a run-in with a town-turned-lynch-mob, gunning after a travelling circus wagon run by the strange and horrible Doc Williams. Williams may or may not be reviving the dead in some sort of voodoo mojo, or he may be just giving people brain damage, either way he has his little gang of zombie slves, including someone who may or show more may not be Wild Bill Hickock, and Hex intends to put and end to him.
Lansdale and Truman make a terrific team, the dialogue is funny and the yarn is downright demented. show less
