By d. emerson eddy — One of the best, if not the best, pure western comics this side of the classics was DC's second volume of Jonah Hex that ran from 2006 until 2011. It ran for 70 issues, as well as an original graphic novel, No Way Back. Penned by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti, with regular artists like Luke Ross, Jordi Bernet, and Phil Noto, and guest artists like JH Williams III, Fiona Staples, Eduardo Risso, and legends like Dick Giordano, Paul Gulacy, and Jonah Hex's co-creator Tony DeZuniga, the series was a pretty heavy-hitter for quality content right out of the box.
