The CISCO KID TPB
Story: Jim Duffy
Art: Jerry DeCaire
96pgs, b/w, 7" x 10", SC, $10.95
rated: PG-13
ISBN: 0-9748501-8-7
O'Henry's tragic anti-hero, THE CISCO KID looks for meaning in a squalid life of crime and violence, as the dark secret he harbors eats away at his soul like a jagged tooth demon. While he's busy drinking his problems away, a gang of outlaws take a sharp dislike to him, and steal the only thing he's got worth having...a locket with the picture of the woman who haunts his
every step. CISCO tracks them, and discovers that they're part of a larger outfit that shanghais defenseless Mexican women and children to sell to the highest bidder. Hot after these thugs as well is PANCHO, who has family at the kidnappers' compound he must free! The two, motivated by very different instincts, form an uneasy truce to scrape this band of outlaw scum off the face of the old west!
This gray-toned noir tale is wrung onto the page by (The Discovery Channel) Jim Duffy and (Wolverine) Jerry DeCaire!
Reprints the acclaimed 3-issue mini series!
"This book captures the beads of sweat and the dust on the forehead and neck. I loved it." -Alex Ness/Pop Thought
"…writer Jim Duffy brings a harsher edge to the property with this new incarnation. DeCaire's sketchy artwork suits the arid nature of the setting and the raw qualities of the characters nicely." -TheFourthRail.com
WYATT EARP: DODGE CITY#2
Story: Chuck Dixon
Art: Enrique Villagran
Cover: Enrique Villagran/ Mike Kowalczyk

WYATT and his posse knock HARDESTY into jail for the arson at the whorehouse, making him all the less popular with the strongmen of DODGE CITY. But the Marshall likes things tight, and demanding all firearms to be abandoned upon the city's limits is the tug that sets the town on FIRE. A band of drovers set on the jail, seeking to free their outlaw friends, and maybe stringing WYATT and DOC from a tree for the hell of it.
Slick papered, grey-toned western rock & roll by the action-master Chuck Dixon!

There's also a very strange gorgeous woman who wants him in a bad way…but her motives are shrouded in dreams. As if that wasn't enough HASSLE, Tonia's father, a powerful shaman, steps out of the smoke with his own claim to Cisco's LIFE!
