Welcome rapscallions,
This is All-True Outlaw, a black & white anthology series of Western tales with an antagonistic slant.
I’ve been writing comics since around 2011, at times struggling to find a niche or any publisher that gave a damn. I never thought building a career in comics would be easy, but it’s actually a lot harder than I expected. The peaks have been lean, the valleys wide.
Around 2018, I decided to try my hand at a story set in the Old West, and in the brainstorming session I was surprised at how many different ideas and perspectives I could go toward. I had grown fond of the genre in college, and works like the impeccable Jonah Hex series by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray (and many, many artists) and the first Red Dead Redemption game opened my mind to the vast storytelling potential of the setting and time period.
That story, “Horror on Hogger Hill” (drawn by Claudio Muñoz and lettered by Nikki Powers), was accepted into the IF Anthology Horror by Alterna Comics, and it spurred my ambition to write more stories within the genre, and to create with art teams similarly hungry for more Westerns.
It required time, concentration, support and the right collaborators but we have reached the launch for this webcomic endeavor. Here, you’ll find adventure fiction in the short form but with a long view of scoundrels and black hats. A new story will be posted every month, so follow the socials and subscribe to the newsletter to get updates and news as they post!
I thank you, and my art teams, greatly for joining me on this adventure. I really hope you enjoy what you read, and if you do, tell a pal or two.
Westward!
