Celebrate ten years of boot-stomping, face-mashing, gut-wrenching, mind-bending, hair-raising, foul-mouthed, good ol'-fashioned fun! You asked for it! The second of four new anniversary editions, each presenting a complete story arc from one of the most acclaimed independent series of all time. 'Somewhere Out West' makes up the second seven issues of David Lapham's critically acclaimed series, Stray Bullets, collected together for the first time ever in paperback. Somewhere out West is a town no one knows about - a desert town whose inhabitants wait for the day a great earthquake will bring them beachfront property. Here, two young lovers on the run from the Mob will learn that love is more than just another four-letter word. A once-beautiful, now-broken woman will let the demons of her past pull her down into a thick soup of depravity and death. A betrayed little girl running from everything will decide to help someone and be scarred forever. And a big lug with big dreams will achieve fame and glory and then throw it all away. These are just some of the people whose tales will stick in your gut for the rest of your days. Winner of the prestigious Eisner award for 'Best Graphic Album,' this award-winning, critically acclaimed series compelled Previews magazine to rave: 'Read it and respond. You have no choice, really. The first major work by an important new artist doesn't get much more provocative than this.' These trade paperbacks are a perfect introduction for new readers. Collects Stray Bullets #8-14.
