About this Collection

This collected edition brings together the five-issue miniseries Desperadoes: Quiet of the Grave, a Western horror tale published by DC Comics under its Homage imprint. Written by Jeff Mariotte and illustrated by John C. Cebollero, the story follows a group of cursed outlaws who must confront supernatural forces tied to their violent pasts. The volume collects the complete 2003 miniseries, blending classic Western tropes with eerie, otherworldly elements.

In "The Corpse of Jimmy Miggs," Gideon and his crew find uneasy refuge in Arizona, only to be confronted by a bounty hunter named Jimmy Miggs—whose sudden death in a brutal gunfight leaves more questions than answers. That night, Jimmy’s body vanishes from the undertaker’s office, setting off a tense, eerie chain of events that lingers long after the bullets stop flying. Written by Jeff Mariotte and brought to life with stark, atmospheric art by John Severin (pencils and inks) and Nick Bell’s moody colors, this haunting chapter of Desperadoes: Quiet of the Grave unfolds with quiet dread and a touch of the uncanny. The cover, also by John Severin, captures the grim stillness of a moment just before the storm breaks.
