Print: $8.99 Download: $3.34 THE QUARTER BOX... This was a blog at first, one in which I reviewed comics that were "less than current". Nothing special, just me rambling about some old comics and the occasional wisecrack. This is the cheap stuff, aka, my comic book collection. From its start, WCB editor Ron Hanna told me: “Hey, this would be great collected in a book!” To which I smiled and shook my head “No.” He kept on, and I kept saying things like: “You're crazy!”, “No one will read this!”, “C’mon, Really?”. Still, he hounded, week after week, until finally, after I had used up the last of my fresh water and he stood with a canteen in the sands of the desert... I said: “mmm... OK.” So here it is... Find a title from the past that piques your interest, or re-discover a long lost favorite, or laugh at the clever and witty political insights... I suppose there are worse things you could read, like I dunno... something categorized as “Children’s Erotica” perhaps, but I digress... OK, Ron, its all yours!

Print: $10.99 Download: $4.14 Western heroes were popular in the great Pulp Magazines, Old Time Radio Shows, the earliest Television programs, and Movies. When the Western hit the medium of Comic Books it was inevitable that a bit of the fantastic would enter the mythos as well. We have assembled a group of characters who live in a world where the Old West is touched with elements of Horror and Science Fiction. A world where gunslingers travel through time, vampires threaten rancher’s daughters, and outlaws fight desperados with kung fu instead of a gun. We’ve even resurrected a classic Western pulp hero, the Masked Rider, and made his world much darker than it was before. The West just got a whole lot WEIRDER! Includes: TIN STAR & FIST by Wayne Skiver, NIGHT OF THE CRIMSON MOON by Howard Hopkins, DOC GRISWOLD’S SINISTER SIDESHOW by Wayne Skiver, GLIDERS OF THE PURPLE STAGE by K.G. McAbee, THE HANGMAN by Wayne Skiver, and NO MAN TO TRIFLE WITH by K.G. McAbee. Cover Art by Keith Howell, Graphic Design by William Carney.
