After the Breckinridge Elkins webcomic by Gary Chaloner, another of Howard’s westerns will have a comic version. Graphic Classics’ nineteenth Western Classics comics, due out in May 2010, will include a Buckner Jeopardy Grimes story, “The Knife River Prodigal.”

You can see what kind of illustrations George Sellas did with this preview page.

Here are the contents of the whole (144 pages) comic:

Western Classics features an adaptation of Zane Grey’s grand western prototype, “Riders of the Purple Sage,” illustrated by Cynthia Martin. Plus stories by Bret Harte, Willa Cather, Gertrude Atherton and John G. Neihardt, with art and adaptations by Trina Robbins, John Findley, Mark A. Nelson, George Sellas, Reno Maniquis and Ryan Huna Smith. Also an early Hopalong Cassidy story illustrated by original “Hoppy” newspaper strip artist, Dan Spiegle.
