ABOUT THE SIXTH GUN SERIES

An epic dark fantasy set in the Old West, THE SIXTH GUN is a new ongoing, full color series from Oni Press launching in early May 2010. During the darkest days of the Civil War, wicked cutthroats came into possession of six pistols of otherworldly power. In time, the Sixth Gun—the most dangerous of the weapons—vanished. When the gun surfaces in the hands of an innocent girl, dark forces reawaken. Vile men thought long dead set their sights on retrieving the gun and killing the girl. Only Drake Sinclair, a gunfighter with a shadowy past, stands in their way.
