Publisher: DC Comics


Vol 1: April 1977 – August 1985
In true normal fashion, disfigured gunman Jonah Hex rode his horse out of Weird Western Tales and into his own comic. It was a testament to the character’s popularity, considering how conventional western themed comics had all but galloped off into the sunset. Then again, nothing was ever conventional about Jonah Hex. Longtime Hex scribe Michael Fleisher and artist Jose Luis Garcia Lopez detailed the bounty hunter travelling to Whalenberg, Tennessee, to locate Tommy Royden, the kidnapped son of a plantation owner. He eventually found Tommy, who had died after being forced to compete in a fight club-type promotion by racketeers Blackie Leclerc and Charlie Mange. After being apprehended and sealed ina coffin by Tommy’s kidnappers, Hex escaped, then forced the promoters to fight at the edge of a cliff, where both fell to their deaths. Returning to the plantation with Tommy’s coffin, Hex didn’t wait around for payment this time. Witnessing a mother grieve over her son’s coffin, he realized the family had already paid too much.


Vol 2: January 2006 – October 2011
Writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti brought western hero Jonah Hex back to the mainstream DC Universe after several well received Vertigo miniseries. The newest version of Jonah Hex returned the anti – hero to his hard core western roots, providing a series of tough, violent and atmospheric tales set at various tomes during Hex’s life. The opening issue set the tone for what was to follow, as Hex was hired to find a missing boy – only to uncover a circus using captured children to fight dogs for the amusement of the crowd. Luke Ross’s gritty art was the perfect match for the grim tales of DC’s most famous bounty hunter.
