Are there any western comics in the US worth reading? Or are they just a European thing.
Jonah Hex
Bat Lash
Now that I think of it, I might have seen Jonah Hex being sold around here. And there actually seems to be some albums in the local library. Probably gonna check it out.
Didn't not DC bothered with stuff like this.
>Didn't not DC bothered with stuff like this.
>Didn't not
Meant "didn't know".
>Forgetting Rawhide
There were tons of Golden/Silver age Western comics but most of them died out by the 70s. I imagine most of them were decent enough.
OP said "worth reading"
I've enjoyed what I've read of The Sixth Gun.
I was going to say that you forgot Desperate Dan for the EU, but... yeah.
>Desperate Dan
He looks like precursor of Cocco Bill. But haven't heard of him.
I forgot to mention Hugo Pratts Sargent Kirk.
Mephisto is best tex willer villain
Agreed.
But my favourite story is the Tragic Cross. I'm reading Ritorno a Pilares at the moment.
407-409 is best story ever
>407-409
Il Passato Di Carson? The past of Carson? I've also heard that it is a top notch, but I haven't read it. They published the story as a book of it's own here, but I guess I'll just buy the whole vintage when I see one.
it's pretty fucking awesome that one.
Also some stories around number 200-400
What does Sup Forums think of Steel Ball Run?
>-Magico Vento
My nigga, that series was amazing.
>-Comanche
>-Ken Parker
>-Buddy Longway
Mah nigga.
Casey Ruggles and Lance were quite daring for their age.
>Steel Ball Run
Looks like a jojo reference?
The magician?
In those really old stories, I liked how Tex went fully Doomguy after they put his face on a wanted poster.
The real difference is

>probably 90% of that is either in print or available second-hand for non-murder prices
>USA
>Printing comics is for faggots
>The magician?
Yes. His real name is Steve Dickart.
>In those really old stories, I liked how Tex went fully Doomguy after they put his face on a wanted poster.
I think that's like 50's? Haven't really read that old stuff yet.
Marvel published a ton of western heroes.
The man also has a son who is as cuckoo as his father. He got a new story some time ago. Good stuff.
>Finnish Tex
Part of me feels like it's great that it got translations all over Yurop, part of me can't help thinking "why the hell does this feel so off?"
I've only read Lucky Luke, but I know there are a ton of European Western comics. I do think it's weird the US has so few of them.
Some you didn't mention:
Lincoln
W.E.S.T. (known as SPOOKS in English)
Durango
L'étoile du désert (Desert Star)
Gus (also in English)
fucking yama man.
also greatest villains:
-mephisto
-proteus
-il maestro (or the master, or the teacher, translated)
I like the pic related.
Also when El Morisco is present, you know shit's going to be dope.
Don't know if this qualifies as a Western, but there's also a well-known comic series set during the Civil War, Les Tuniques Bleues (The Bluecoats). I've read a few of those, enjoyed them.
The Steam Man
>Don't know if this qualifies as a Western
It does. Also, I had the video game; it was good.
...
Tied with Diamond is Unbreakable for my favorite.
...
All those are American characters. Therefore under USA.
