American Update: Western Round-Up! Jonah Hex, Rawhide Kid, Cheyenne, Ghost Rider, Lone Ranger, Tomahawk and More
*Western: Twenty new ‘oaters’ added to our inventory from different publishers. From Marvel, we have early issues of Rawhide Kid, featuring Kirby art and including the first team-up with Two-Gun Kid, plus the cowboy Ghost Rider, who preceded the 70s Satanic super-hero. From Dell, we have additions to our stock of TV star Cheyenne and multi-media personality the Lone Ranger. And DC brings us All-Star Western (second series), the one-shot Trigger Twins, Weird Western Tales, American Revolutionary hero Tomahawk (not quite ‘period’, but if it’s got horses and is set in the past, it’s a Western by us), and spaghetti western-inspired anti-hero Jonah Hex. Jonah was an unexpected hit, bucking the anti-Western trend to win his own long-running title, and we have not only his first solo issue (VF- £48, pictured) but also the last, #92, a scarce item beautifully illustrated by Gray Morrow, among our new additions.
