The Guns of Shadow Valley #1-3

is an exciting new Western adventure series from the creators of Scar Tissue, David Wachter and James Andrew Clark. Set in the 1870s in the Oklahoma Territories, Guns is a tale of intrigue and adventure that puts a new spin on the Old West. Actually it's that sub-genre of Westerns called "Weird West" or "Weird Western", that refers to a combination of the Western with another genre, usually horror, occult, or fantasy. It was coined to describe the role-playing game], and the specific phrase "Weird West" is trademarked by Pinnacle Entertainment Group. However, the weird Western has earlier roots and the phrase is now used more widely to describe the setting of such tales. The artwork of Guns sets it apart, however--it is fantastic. No wonder, then that it is one of 2010's five nominees for the Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic (won by Cameron Stewart's ).

Somewhere in the mysterious Shadow Valley lies a secret that could forever change the face of the frontier. To protect that secret, a posse of gunmen with special abilities must come together and defend against a tribe of ghostly warriors, an advancing army led by a deranged Colonel, and the perils of the valley itself. --
