Debuting in September 2013 is an English language edition of the 64 page graphic novel originally created for Disney Italia. Century West stems from the creative mindof Howard Chaykin (Satellite Sam, Black Kiss) and explores the mythical frontier known as the American West.
Century, Texas goes from sleepy settlement to twentieth-century boomtown, and change has a profound effect on three settlers from the east who establish themselves as Texas Rangers.
“Century West is one of the projects that’s been in my concept book since the early 1990s — a narrative demonstration of my conviction that the modern world began a lot earlier than any of us mid-20th-century types ever knew, and the movies were what made that modernity concrete, inviolable and inevitable,” Chaykin told ComicsAlliance. “And of course, it’s got cowboys, Indians, airplanes and a Passover seder, for Christ sake. What more could you ask for?”
Century West will be available in September 2013 and is available to be pre-ordered from the July issue of Previews.
