All-Star Western #10 (DC Comics, 1972) by John Albano and Tony DeZuniga Plot Summary The western comic had all but ridden into the sunset, until the arrival of Jonah Hex gave the genre a new face. It was a scarred, horribly disfigured face, but a much needed one regardless. A tale written by John Albano and drawn by Tony Dezuniga immediately presented the bounty hunter as a cold blooded killer. Garbed in a worn Confederate Army uniform, Hex was said to be somewhat modified after the literary gunslinger of the movie “Shane” and Clint Eastwood’s “The Man With no Name” in Western movies. His disfigured facial features were a visual representation of Cain and Abel, with a good side and a bad side. The townspeople of Paradise Falls feared that if they got on Hex’s bad side, they wouldn’t live long enough to see his better side. Yet they weren’t afraid of hiring him to rid the town of Big Jim and his raiders, who terrorized townsfolk by grabbing their land to sell to railroad owners.
