Cisco Kid vs. Wyatt Earp

Cyclone Bill & The Tall Tales - Graphic Novel

There are two sides to every story...and for the first time, Moonstone shows you them both! Two different perspectives on the same wild west story action!

They called them gunslingers when these mythic men rode the west over a century ago. Movies and dime novels gave them white hats and black hats, but the truth lies somewhere in between. On October 27th, 1880, Wyatt Earp arrested William "Curly Bill" Brocious for shooting the Tombstone town Marshal. But on the way to trial, some tell of a dangerous encounter with a mysterious outlaw called the Cisco Kid. Did the paths of these two legendary gunslingers cross somewhere in the southwest? If so, whose side of the story should we believe? MATURE CONTENT - ALSO: see "Wyatt Earp vs. Cisco Kid"!

At the height of his popularity, Bill Czynkowski, guitarist and band leader for Cyclone Bill and the Tall Tales, is shot dead in front of a packed house. In piecing together what happened that night, the remaining Tall Tales wonder if a supernatural force was behind his murder.

Only filmmaker Maggie Bloom has the footage to solve the mystery, but she may have lost her mind in her search for fame. It seems she's being haunted by a man whose soul is one with rock n roll itself.

Who is this man, and with what power does he confront the players in our tale? From stardom's dizzying heights to midnight's darkest crossroad, the answer will terrify all who seek quick deals for fame and immortality. MATURE CONTENT
