Desperadoes and Graveslinger: two weird Westerns

Bulletin:

3:10 to Yuma got you looking for other great Western stories?

On Wednesday, you'll be able to pick up the trade paperback edition of Desperadoes: Buffalo Dreams, celebrating the tenth anniversary of the critically acclaimed, horror award-nominated series Desperadoes at a comic store near you, or online. Later in the month it'll also be available at bookstores everywhere. But really, why wait? It has great art by Alberto Dose, and a surreal, thrilling story.

Next month, you'll also be able to pick up Graveslinger, which I wrote with Shannon Eric Denton, with art by John Cboins.

Desperadoes: Buffalo Dreams comes from IDW Publishing, Graveslinger from Image Comics/Shadowline.

Here are some review excerpts for Desperadoes: Buffalo Dreams:

Sometimes Desperadoes is a western-gothic hybrid. At other times it's more of a gothic-western hybrid....As usual, writer Jeff Mariotte doesn't disappoint." -- Scoop

"Two parts western, two parts mystical vision, and two parts philosophical insight form an outstanding concoction from writer Jeff Mariotte and artist Alberto Dose." -- Scoop

I'd truly love to see this tale in a novel format, because there's a LOT of story here that's already been told (in other comics), a LOT of story here that isn't told (due to the medium), and a LOT more story to come. That said, if you have a youngster and you'd like to introduce them to a Western story that might be a bit more acceptable to them than dusting off your collection of L'Amour novels, this is certainly a great approach. For that, I highly recommend it - and others in the series, as they become available." -- Westerns for Today

And so you know what to look for, here's the cover.
