WYATT EARP VS. THE CISCO KID
by Chuck Dixon, Kody, Villagran & J.
There are two sides to every story, and for the first time Moonstone shows them
both, with two different perspectives on the same Wild West story! They called
them gunslingers when these mythic men rode the west over a century ago. Movies
and dime novels gave them white hats and black hats, but the truth lies
somewhere in between. On October 27th, 1880, Wyatt Earp arrested William "Curly
Bill" Brocious for shooting the Tombstone town Marshall. But on the way to
trial, some tell of a dangerous encounter with a mysterious outlaw called the
Cisco Kid. Did the paths of these two legendary gunslingers cross somewhere in
the southwest? If so, whose side of the story should we believe? Myth meets
history in this fanastic Western showdown! Writer Chuck Dixon is joined by
artist Enrique Villagran on Wyatt Earp vs. The Cisco Kid, and on The Cisco Kid
vs. Wyatt Earp writer Len Kody and artist EricJ join Dixon. This titanic tale
can only be told in two specials, and Wyatt vs Cisco and Cisco vs Wyatt will
ship on the same day! (C: 0-1-2)

that leads straight into a trap set by a Texas Ranger and his cunning Indian
partner. But the road to fire and brimstone is full of distractions, from a
mysterious and alluring woman, to the father of his murdered girlfriend — a

on Cisco's life!

STARS OF THE MONTH
THE CISCO KID VOLUME 1: HELL'S GATES TP
by Jim Duffy & Jerry DeCaire
O'Henry's tragic anti-hero, The Cisco Kid looks for meaning in a squalid life of
crime and violence, as the dark secret he harbors eats away at his soul like a
jagged tooth demon. While he's busy drinking his problems away, a gang of
outlaws take a sharp dislike to him, and steal the only thing he's got worth
having — a locket with the picture of the woman who haunts his every step. Cisco
tracks them, and discovers that they're part of a larger outfit that shanghais
defenseless Mexican women and children to sell to the highest bidder. Hot after
these thugs as well is Pancho, who has family at the kidnappers’ compound he
must free! The two, motivated by very different instincts, form an uneasy truce
to scrape this band of outlaw scum off the face of the old west! (FEB052971)
