Jonah Hex #60

Sixty issues in, and Jonah Hex was still going strong. Michael Fleisher's dedication to scripting one character for the long-haul is something we just don't see with comic writer's and publishers today. All told Fleisher would write Jonah Hex's adventures for over 13 years(!); nowadays it's lucky to see a writer last for 13 issues.

Anyway, at this point in the story Jonah is taken out of the Old West for the first time, as he's Shanghaied for China and forced to do the bidding of a local warlord.

The backup story has El Diablo confronting a religious sect that is believed to be responsible for livestock rustling and the disappearance of a child. It seems at this point that El Diablo is basically an Old West version of The Spectre.

Overall, it''s a fine issue, though far from being a must-read issue.
