About the series
In 1999, DC Comics let Joe R. Lansdale and Tim Truman loose on the Old West with Jonah Hex: Shadows West, a three-issue series that strips the scarred bounty hunter down to his grim, supernatural roots. This is not a typical hero's ride; Lansdale's lean, hardboiled scripts and Truman's stark, expressive art push Hex into a territory where frontier justice bleeds into the eerie and the uncanny. A key chapter in the character's late-90s revival, it stands as a lean, mean showcase of two master storytellers at the top of their game.
