Dad might enjoy some Jonah Hex; gotta build him up to that. Although that movie might've salted that well...

A couple months ago, I got a bunch of cheap Lone Ranger comics from the cheap bins for my dad; and he plowed through them when I was on vacation up there. He might've just been being polite, but I got some others for him from the same bins: from 2008, the Man with No Name #1, "Sinners and Saints, chapter one" Written by Christos Gage, art by Wellington Dias.

This follows "Blondie" directly from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; despite the fact that Dynamite would put out a series under that name later. I had read a couple issues of this before--and thought they might've been from the same quarter bins, but nope! It also took me a ridiculous amount of time to find that, on my own stupid blog; partly because search everywhere seems to be borked, and partly because I assumed Chuck Dixon wrote this. Still, these weren't bad, and answered a question I had from Jonah Hex comics and the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly comic: namely, what happens when the hero gets a big sack of gold? Answer: it's probably a pain in the ass, especially if you don't really seem to want anything? I don't love his final decision, but I guess he couldn't burn through it fast enough drinking and smoking and shooting.

I also got a reader copy of the trade, with the last five issues of the series. (I probably needed three of them...) Still, even putting aside that most fans of those movies probably have no idea these comics were made; like Marvel's Apache Skies, I think they need to repackage these and get them on the racks wherever dad-western novels are sold.
