Nice to find a Two-Gun Bob story actually starting off with a tale told on a porch, since he had heard many such while growing up and they were a formative influence on his storytelling prowess. I really liked this one. It moves along at a good clip, with plenty of grue and a satisfying, if not wholly unexpected, finish. I liked the magical/spiritual tie between Ghost Man and Garfield as an explanation for events.

Once Kirby was introduced, I knew where this story was going, but I found the scenes with Ghost Man or where he was mentioned to be nicely weird and atmospheric. A not bad weird western.
