Jonah Hex officially moseyed into comics on this day in 1971.

The character first appeared in a full-page ad for All-Star Western #10, which was published in various November/December 1971-dated DC titles. He then made his debut in the actual comic in a story by writer John Albano and artist Tony DeZuniga. The title would change to Weird Western Tales soon thereafter, which Jonah Hex would headline for several years before finally getting his own title in 1977.

“When I went to my doctor, I saw this beautiful chart of the human anatomy. And I saw the anatomy of the figure was split in half, straight from head to toe. Half his skeleton was there, half his nerves and muscles. That’s where I got the idea it won’t be too bad if his distortion would be half,” DeZuniga said in an interview back in 2010.

Genius (2016) Review

Max Perkins was a book editor at Scibner and he oversaw some incredible authors with Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, but this focuses on him being the first to truly believe in Thomas Wolfe and the relationship they would have until his early death. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Continue reading Untitled

The Executioners: A Chronicle Of Kayfabe Killers In WWE 

Griffin Kaye Wrestling history is littered with recycled gimmicks, with everything from finishers to themes to looks being reinterpreted by different wrestlers, with Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair walking (even if barely these days) examples of the success of pro wrestling knock-offs.
