Dead in the West

In the early '90s, Dark Horse published this two-issue horror-western miniseries from writer Joe R. Lansdale and artist Jack Jackson. Set in the post-Civil War frontier, it follows a preacher cursed to wander a land overrun by the undead—a grim, gritty fusion of genre tropes that showcases Lansdale's signature blend of dark humor and pulp violence. Though brief, the series stands as a cult-favorite collaboration between two Texas storytellers steeped in regional folklore and macabre history.
