Crossover Covers: Jonah Hex: Two-Gun Mojo


 



In Mud Creek, Texas, Jonah Hex has a run-in with Doc “Cross” Williams and his traveling freak show, which includes Wild Bill Hickok, who Williams turned into a zombie using The Book of Doches. Williams also possesses a copy of the book Anatomy by Maturin. The town of Mud Creek and The Book of Doches recur throughout Lansdale’s fiction, both prose and comic books. Maturin is Dr. Stephen Maturin from Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin novels.

This crossover is one of hundreds that will be included in my book Crossovers Expanded: A Secret Chronology of the World Volume 3, to be released by Meteor House! Much like the first two volumes, this book is an AUTHORIZED companion to Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World Volumes 1 and 2 by Win Scott Eckert!

  1. Lansdale is a genius storyteller.

    You know I missed the Maturin when I read Two Gun Mojo.

    1. I met him at PulpFest in 2018. He's a really nice guy too!
