Publisher Description. Oni Press and EC Comics present a first look inside EC Outlaw Showdown #1 – a 56-page slab of sawdust celebrating revenge and retribution on the lawless frontiers of the Old West, as told in the immortal EC Comics tradition! The first in a new series of super-sized EC Comics genre specials – from prehistoric survival to crime and punishment in epochs far beyond our own – Outlaw Showdown #1 is 56 pages of hot lead and cold hearts.
Gunfighters, scoundrels, butchers, and bandits – they’ll all join us here to draw down on fate itself as coffin-bound creators John Arcudi (B.P.R.D.), Sebastián Cabrol (The Seasons Have Teeth), Christopher Cantwell (Out of Alcatraz), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Tony Moore (The Walking Dead), Dan McDaid (Shazam!), and Ann Nocenti (Daredevil), rain hellfire and fury from the holsters on their hip.
Here, for the first time, Oni Press and EC Comics can reveal a peek through the saloon doors to what awaits inside Outlaw Showdown #1 with a sly gander at two surefire-hit stories: “Fire in the Hole” by Eisner Award nominee Tony Moore and “The Cure” by comic legends Ann Nocenti & David Lapham.
Plus: As if you need any more gold to add to your ledger… Saddle up for a newly remastered and authentically restored tale from the EC Comics vaults by EC icons Harvey Kurtzman and Jack Davis – authentically restored back to the closest possible approximation of its original coloring for the first time in seven decades by colorist Iñaki Azpiazu!
Outlaw Showdown #1 fires on all cylinders with a wanted-dead-or-alive cast of the coldest cover artists this side of the Mississippi, including Lee Bermejo, Tony Moore, Ladrönn, Shawn McManus, and Rian Hughes. A blood-stained, power-burned milestone in EC history awaits this October 22.
