The stories of frontiersmen, outlaws, cowboys, Indians, prospectors, and marksmen surviving the harshest of environments through wit, skill, and determination, or meeting their end by bullet, noose, or exposure speak to what it means to be American and play an essential part in how we define ourselves as a nation. These mythic stories have been captured and created in almost every popular mass medium of the past century and beyond from tabloids to novels, radio plays, television shows, and movies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eNow, powerHouse Books is pleased to present a collection of these uniquely American stories as told through a uniquely American medium…the comic book!
