Book of the week: "Marvel Westerns" Hardcover collection

If you like western comic book characters, you'll enjoy reading the hardcover collection of "Marvel Westerns." 
Today's blog is about the Marvel Westerns collection and why I started reading about cowboys and western characters. 

WHY DO I READ WESTERN COMICS AND NOVELS?  
Since I was a kid, I was always fascinated by cowboys and the Old West in the U.S. I later learned that I had a past life in Tombstone, Arizona in the 1880s, which I wrote about in my book "Ghosts of the Bird Cage Theatre on a Medium's Vacation," so that explains the fascination. 

I have always been a reader of DC Comics' Jonah Hex character, but in the last 2 years I started reading the Marvel Comics western characters and have enjoyed the stories from the 50s, 60s, 70s and early 80s (when they all seemed to go away). 

The "Marvel Westerns Hardcover" is a comprehensive collection that brings together some of Marvel's most iconic Western characters. It features Rawhide Kid, Kid Colt, Arizona Annie, The Black Rider, the Man From Fort Rango, Red Wolf, Hurricane, Gunhawk and Two Gun Kid, among others. One of the stories is about the origin of Rawhide Kid by Jack Kirby.There's also a special section in the back with text explanation for each of the characters.It's well-worth a read!

SIDE NOTE - About "Ghosts of the Bird Cage Theatre on a Medium's Vacation" 

#1 in General Western US Travel Guides and An Amazon *Top 100* Bestseller!
Shot in the throat! Ghostly Faces! Meet the resident Bird Cage Theatre ghosts as some shared the pain of their violent deaths. Others revealed their lives as actors, drinkers, gamblers, prostitutes, or gunfighters to medium and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro on the museum’s ghost tour. He and his friend photographed faces of 2 ghosts in a painting and a mirror. Rob also sketched some ghosts he encountered. You may encounter them, too!


The Bird Cage Theatre is a very haunted and historic landmark in Tombstone, Arizona. It was a big part of the wild days of the Old West in the United States. Because of the raw emotional events that occurred there, a number of people have chosen to stay behind as earth-bound ghosts.
