HELL PASO: THE STORY OF DALLAS STOUDENMIRE
(Graphic Novel)
"A Legendary Marshal Forgotten By Everyone."
“I believe that when a man is born, the time when he is set to die is fixed and appointed and he can't be killed before that time comes around. I don’t believe the bullet was ever molded that will kill me.” "Ex-Marshal Studemeyer," El Paso Herald, April 9, 1895.
Front Cover by Javier Saltares (Ghost Rider, David's Mighty Men).
Liked by some. Hated by many. Feared by all.
Synopsis:
Hell Paso highlights the rivalry that existed between Dallas Stoudenmire, a battle-hardened Civil War veteran and outsider hired to protect the city, and the Manning brothers, long time residents and business owners involved in criminal activities.
From the first day he pinned on the badge, Stoudenmire met violent resistance. After a number of fights, including the well known “Four Dead in Five Seconds” gunfight, failed assassination attempts, and the killing of a family member by James Manning, events begin to take a toll on Stoudenmire.
Having few allies in the city, Stoudenmire resigns as city marshal. However, living in the same town as the Mannings infuriates him. One evening after a number of drinks, Stoudenmire decides to end the rivalry and confronts the Mannings for a final epic battle that stuns the city.
Hell Paso: The Story of Dallas Stoudenmire is a 188 page graphic novel that reprints the original 6 issue limited series, and contains over 35 bonus pages, including photos, newspaper articles, historical facts, and artwork.
(Based on historical events that occurred in El Paso, Texas, from 1881-1882.)
