Comic book fans know Chuck Dixon for his work on Batman, Nightwing, The Punisher, and Robin, but his writing career extends well beyond superheroes and Gotham City’s criminals.
Dixon also has a taste for Westerns, and Gallows, a novel in his Sidewinders Western series, brings readers back to a world where trouble is rarely far away and justice isn’t always settled in a courtroom.
Dixon has spent decades writing action stories, from street-level crime comics to military adventures and historical fiction. Westerns give him another setting for the kind of hard-edged storytelling that has become a familiar part of his work.
The Sidewinders series previously introduced readers to Joe Wiley in Snakehand, a lawman-for-hire with a dangerous past who takes on the corruption and violence of Mercury Wells, Texas.
For comic book readers who haven’t explored Dixon’s novels, Gallows offers another reason to look beyond the comic book shelves and into his Western fiction.
Gallows is listed on Amazon in paperback, giving readers an opportunity to add another Chuck Dixon Western to their collection.
