Written by Scott SnyderArt by Danijel Zezelj
How do you take a comic that I'm already enjoying a great amount and make it even better? You stick Danijel Zezelj on for a one-off issue, that's how. I love Zezelj's work (and can never understand why he hasn't been given more high-profile work), so this issue is a real treat for me.
The story is set between the events of Stephen King's and Snyder's stories in the first arc, as the book's resident bad ass Skinner Sweets visits a Wild West show in 1919, and discovers that his apprehension by Book is dramatized, and that his old girlfriend is in the show. This leads to a lot of reminiscing on Sweet's part, and the passing of a few more legends from the Wild West.
Snyder uses this issue to help flesh out Sweets a little more, and to comment on how, even by 1919, he is a man cut off from his time period, as America embraced the twentieth century. This is the perfect type of issue to use Zezelj on, and the book looks great.
