DESCRIPTION:
Comic book stories by top creators about the strangest histories of the American frontier west
B. G. Shultz said NOT LIKE A JOHN WAYNE MOVIE. One of the many "Big Books" from Factoid Press, this volume delivers up a multitude of disturbing, humorous, and crazy tales from the West of yesteryear. Cleverly (and sometimes graphically) illustrated, this book would probably not be a good read for anybody who believes that the Old West was John Wayne-esque, where the good guy always won the duel and got the lady. The real West was more like a spaghetti western, w. "This is the REAL "Wild, Wild West!"" according to A Customer. You won't find Will Smith in this bizarre yet hilarious collection of true (and possibly true) tales from the dark side of the Western frontier. This entry in the now-legendary Big Book series meets the high stanards set by the others -- but be warned. This is one of the more violent Big Books. Not for kids. But if you enjoy rough and tumble true tales of killers, cannibals and crazies this book'll show you what the . Wild, Wild West? Alan Williams Paradox press adds another "Big Book Of" that shares the same flavour of it's "brothers". A wide style of illustration helps the feel of this book, as do the wide array of "tales" culled from the period. Nice that they included several not-so-well-known tales. Note: this is NOT a refrence guide, but an rather enjoyable read.
