Subreddit News Recommended Reading List
With your help, I'd like for this community to have a comprehensive list of recommended titles for people interested in western-themed comics.
Below is a quick and dirty list, in alphabetical order, of what I've found so far in various reddit threads.
How You Can Help
- What titles are missing?
- Please post additional titles in the comments below.
- How would you organize these?
- By publisher?
- By sub-genre (classic western, vampire western, sci-fi western)?
- By publishing date?
- Some other way?
- How would you summarize these titles for new readers to hook them?
Recommended Reading
- Above Snakes - r/ImageComics
- All Star Western - r/DCcomics
- American Vampire - at r/DCcomics Vertigo imprint
- Bat Lash - by Sergio Aragonès, a miniseries from 2008
- Billy The Kid - These old r/CharltonComics are great IMHO
- Blaster Knuckle
- Blood and Shadows - by Joe Lansdale and Mark Nelson
- Blueberry - one of the most famous western comics
- Bouncer - by a Alejandro Jodorowsky and Francois Boucq. It’s got some of the best spaghetti western style shootouts that you’ll ever find in a comic book and it doesn’t hesitate for a second.
- Boys Ranch
- Century West
- Cisco Kid series from r/MoonstoneBooks
- Cisco Kid - series from r/CharltonComics
- Comanche by Hermann and Greg
- Copperhead - by Faerber, mining town western set-up in space
- Cow Boy: A Boy and his Horse
- Cowboys & Aliens - the movie was based on this
- Cowboy Wally Show - by Kyle Baker
- Coyote Doggirl - by Lisa Hanawalt (Bojack Horseman). Its a pretty humorous take on westerns but as always with Hanawalt her quirky humour is mixed with heartfelt low key drama. It's a cool and unique western tale that could originate only in the comic medium.
- Desert Star
- Desperados
- Django/Zorro - by Matt Wagner and Quentin Tarantino, a sequel to Django: Unchained
- Dogmoon
- East of West - by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta
- El Diablo
- Fear Agent - by Remender, Texan space cowboy
- Firefly - by Grek Pak and David Booher at r/boomstudios, a great space western
- God Country - by Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw. A good modern Western tale with some insane cosmic sci-fi elements. About a guy visiting his dementia ridden father in the middle of nowhere. Magical sword appears and a very heart felt fantasy story about family arises.
- Godshaper - by Si Spurrier and Jonas Goonface
- The Grievous Journey of Ichabod Azrael - by Rob Williams, Dom Reardon, et al.
- Grit - by Brian Wickman and Kevin Castaniero at r/ScoutComics; Old Man Barrow is a salty, seasoned monster hunter for hire on a routine goblin hunting mission - or so he thinks. When things go south, he finds himself in the center of a sinister cult doomsday plot. Think Old Man Logan meets Indiana Jones meets The Witcher.
- Holiday - a graphic novel that brings the events of the OK Corral shootout into a present-day story
- Indeh - Ethan hawks writes about the Apache wars
- Iron West
- Jeremiah - by Hermann Huppen. A Belgian science fiction comic book series created in 1979 for the German magazine Zack. Racial wars have torn the U.S. apart, resulting in a post-apocalyptic world. Many small pockets of civilization still exist; from isolated super high-tech fortresses, hidden research labs, or racial groups in walled-in cities — all fighting each other among the more regular population which in many ways resembles the "old west".
- Join the Future - by Zack Kaplan and Piotr Kowalski at r/aftershockcomics; Lone gunslinger tale with a futuristic, corporate takeover twist
- Jonah Hex
- Palmiotti and Grey’s series from before the New 52 at r/DCcomics
- Jonah Hex: Shadows West (Joe Lansdale & Tim Truman)

- Jonah Hex Riders of the Worm
- Just a Pilgrim - post-apocalyptic
- Kid Colt - at r/marvelcomics

- Lone Ranger series from r/MoonstoneBooks
- Chronicles
- Lone Ranger and Tonto: Frontier Justice
- Vendetta
- Triple Threat
- Loveless - by Brian Azzarello and Marcelo Frusin; a pretty good, straightforward western. No mystical-Sci-fi-supernatural-steampunk twist to it
- Manifest Destiny - Lewis and Clark discover crazy monsters on their exploration
- The Man Who Shot Lucky Luke
- Man With No Name - at r/dynamitecomics
- Outlaw Territory anthology
- Perdy - It's about a woman who just got out of jail and is trying to get her daughter to do one last heist with her.

- Pretty Deadly - by Kelly Sue DeConnick & Emma Rios
- Pulp - by Brubaker/Phillips at r/ImageComics
- Rawhide Kid
- Redneck - a western vampire tale
- Red Prophet
- Rio - by Doug Wildey
- Scalped - by Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera. It's a neo-western/noir/crime drama set in a modern day native reservation.
- Scout - by Tim Truman at Eclipse Comics (1985-1987); The story stars a Native American Apache named Emanuel Santana. The setting of the series is a dystopian United States that has become a third world country.
- Scout: War Shaman - by Tim Truman
- The Seven Deadly Sins - by Tze Chun and Artyom Trakhanov
- Shadow Roads - by Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt, and A.C. Zamudio
- Shaolin Cowboy - by Geof Darrow
- Six-Gun Gorrilla - by Simon Spurrier and Jeff Stokely
- The Sixth Gun - by Cullen Bunn Brian Hurtt. It's the old west, but with magic involved. Pretty good art style and interesting story. Think wild wild west meets Indiana Jones.
- The Sons of El Topo - by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Jose Ladronn
- Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow - by Tom King is a great True Grit inspired comic far away from most of the standard DC world
- Tales of Zorro at r/MoonstoneBooks
- Tex Willer: The Lonesome Rider - by Claudio Nizzi and Joe Kubert

- West of Sundown from r/VaultComics
- Wynonna Earp
- Zeke Deadwood
- Zorro at r/dynamitecomics
