next mission: get the new cover, so we can compare. You’re halfway there!

Why not re-post both covers in this thread?

I didn’t have a scan of the new cover, so it seemed weird to show just the one.

But fair enough, I can always add the original cover to the piece!

AND
It’s mostly self-contained stories, so it’s really easy to jump onboard…

“JONAH HEX is the best monthly series out there, people.”

Hear, hear!!!

“C’mon people, buy it! I don’t want to to get cancelled.”

YES! YES!!!

Not only is it a great read with great art it’s NOT tied in with any stupid multi-issue-crossover-crapfest!!!!!!

Jonah Hex and Scalped are my two favorite ongoing series… I used to love it when they would come out on the same day: that was my “Cowboys & Indians Wednesday.”

Hm, I wonder which feature the original comments were in…?

(C’mon, Brian, we need our avenue to make bad jokes about Ed Benes covers!)

It really is the best comic out there, and decidedly more honest about the way of life back then than we’ve seen before many western comics. C’mon people, buy it! I don’t want to to get cancelled.

Marginally related: I am a magazine editor, and a Hollywood stringer recently sent me a pitch to do a story on Josh Brolin, for the upcoming movie JOHNNY HEX.

Umm… As another detractor of the Jonah Hex cover in that month’s cover review, I too hereby apologise.

I will however blame DC’s scanners and Photoshoppers for making the preview image LOOK like it had originated in Photoshop…

It’s not often you get to see proper oil-painted covers, good to see it’s still going. Sorry.
