“So much for Gotham being a one-horse town.” – Justin Gray

All-Star Western teaser image

Gotham City has always been a cesspool of criminals and trouble-makers – even back in the days of the Wild West. In ALL-STAR WESTERN #1, Jonah Hex is enlisted to help the Gotham Police Department solve the mystery of a vicious serial killer. “So much for Gotham being a one-horse town. Look at that dazzling city in the late 1800’s meticulously researched and brought to life by Moritat. Hex fans, you can relax. We’re not going to abandon seventy issues of dedication and love for the ugly bounty hunter,” co-writer Justin Gray told us about the image above.

This weekend, attendees of the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo saw some teaser images from this project, as well as a number of the first issues coming in September. Over the course of the day, we’ll be showing and linking to some other teaser art we premiered in case you were not able to make it to the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo.

In the meantime, head over to iFANBOY for another sneak peek at ALL-STAR WESTERN #1, written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti with art and a cover by Moritat.
