THIS OCTOBER, VENGEANCE RIDES AGAIN! – Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, and William M. Gaines Agent, Inc. are proud to reveal your first lettered look inside OUTLAW SHOWDOWN #1 – the first in a new series of giant-sized genre specials from the immortal EC Comics!
First to fall from the gallows on a short length of rope: Blood-drenched and bullet-riddled tales of hot lead and cold hearts on the sun-bleached sands of the American West. Keep your hand on your six shooter … because OUTLAW SHOWDOWN #1 don’t miss!
Gunfighters, scoundrels, butchers, and bandits—they’ll all join us here to draw down on fate itself as coffin-bound creators, Christopher Cantwell (Out of Alcatraz), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Tony Moore (The Walking Dead), Ann Nocenti (Daredevil), and more rain hellfire and fury from the holsters on their hip.
But first, get your first whiff of gunsmoke with a look inside “Cool Cool Water” by comics legend John Arcudi (B.P.R.D.) and dead-to-rights artist Sebastián Cabrol (The Seasons Have Teeth) – paraded here for all to see:
Plus, also featured as an extra-added bonus: A newly remastered and authentically restored tale of Old West retribution and recoil from the EC vaults by comics masters Harvey Kurtzman (Two-Fisted Tales) and Jack Davis (Tales from the Crypt)!
SOME COMIC BOOK COMPANIES ASK YOU TO CHOOSE: DEATH OR GLORY? AT EC COMICS, WE SAY . . . WHY NOT BOTH?! Make peace with your maker because EC’s OUTLAW SHOWDOWN #1 is riding hard, fast, and steely-eyed into a comic shop near you on October 22nd with covers by Lee Bermejo (Joker), Ladrönn (Cable), Shawn McManus (Fables), and Rian Hughes (The Multiversity).
