Tall Tales from the Badlands #1
An annual Western anthology published by Sean and Seamus Fahey, and edited by Dave Davis.

“A Thousand Deaths,†written by Seamus Kevin Fahey, art by Juan Romera. An aging gunslinger struggles with his fear of the inevitable.
“Thicker Than Water,†written by Sean Fahey, art by Lisandro Estherren. After turning his partner in to the Pinkertons, in order to save his brother’s life, a remorseful bank robber pays a visit to the man he betrayed and learns the true meaning of family.
“Abigail,†written by Seamus Kevin Fahey, art by Jose Holder. Isolated and alone after her husband joins a posse to capture a band of murderers, an unusually resourceful frontier woman taps into her most base maternal instincts in order to protect her children from a brutal home invasion.
“The Runt,†written by Sean Fahey, art by J.C. Grande. A scrappy, weathered old dog gives new meaning to the phrase “Man’s Best Friend,†when he is left to defend his fallen master from a series of blood thirsty scavengers.
“Easy Livin’,†written by Sean Fahey, art by Borja “Borch†Pena. A good natured slice of frontier life piece honoring the adventurous spirit and tireless work ethic of the trappers and mountain men that succeeded in opening up the American West, in the face of endless challenges and constant hardship.
The Standard #1
Over 40 years ago, mild-mannered scientist Gilbert Graham became The Standard, the world’s first real life superhero. When he retired, Alex Thomas – formerly The Standard’s sidekick, Fabu-Lad – took on the mantle in his place, transforming The Standard from superhero to celebrity. But somewhere amidst all the sponsorship deals and reality TV shows, Alex lost sight of what Gilbert created The Standard to represent. Now, a young girl is missing, and The Standard has promised to find her. Can Alex Thomas become a hero once more? Or does fate have other plans for The Standard?
