From the Eisner award-winning creator of The Goon comes an over-the-bigtop horror romp pitting outlaw legend Billy the Kid and a band of circus "freaks" against the evil machinations of the nefarious Dr. Frankenstein! Penned with deranged glee by Powell and illustrated by fan-favorite horror artist Kyle Hotz (The Agency andThe Hood), Billy The Kid's Old Timey Oddities starts with Billy the Kid free to roam America, having faked his own death. Free, that is, until Fineas Spoule, AKA The Human Spider, discovers his secret. Now, afraid of being exposed, Billy finds himself in the service of a caravan of carnival sideshow performers who have unfinished business with a mad scientist none other than Victor Frankenstein himself! This twisted love child of spaghetti westerns and Hammer horror flicks combines Powell's humorous fast-paced storytelling and Hotz's quirky macabre visuals for a story that the whole family will love...if they're the kind of family that love alligator men and miniature boys fighting monstrous mistakes of science with the help of the fastest gunslinger in the West! Written by Eric Powell creator of The Goon and recipient of the International Horror Guild Award and multiple Eisner Awards!… (más)

Billy the Kid takes up with some strange folk for what he thinks is a treasure hunt but what is really an effort to retrieve an old friend. We get background into what has made Billy the Kid who he is (he definitely didn't have the greatest childhood) and we get a chance to see what happened to Frankenstein after his initial experiment. The members of the caravan were definitely interesting, and I loved the tattoo'd lady, even with her sad sad story. The art style also definitely worked for this cross between a western and and a scifi/horror title.

That being said I didn't really like or dislike this book, I felt kind of nuetral about it which is weird b/c normally I feel like I should have liked it.

I'm curious as to whether this is a series or not b/c I think I would be curious to read the next one. ( )
