Billy The Kid's Old Timey Oddities Omnibus

Description

History tells us that Billy the Kid was gunned down by Pat Garrett - but what if he were still alive? Billy The Kid's Old Timey Oddities Omnibus hits the reader with a double revelation: not only is the Kid still very much in the world, but he is now acting as the hired protection for a travelling sideshow of freaks and oddities! Travel deep into the heart of the Old Weird West as Billy and his ragtag bunch of mutants, monsters and beasts find peril and adventure in every dark corner. From two writers with an imposing track-record of comic hits.
