☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
In the dusty stillness of Arizona, Gideon and his gang find uneasy refuge—until former outlaw Jimmy Miggs shows up, gun in hand, claiming the bounty on Gideon’s head. What follows is a swift, brutal showdown, but when Jimmy’s body vanishes from the undertaker’s office that very night, the quiet of the grave begins to feel anything but peaceful.
In the dusty silence of the frontier, Tom Miggs rides alone toward Sheriff Kelton, bound by a mission that could mean salvation or doom. As Maria endures unseen torment and Betts races against time to find her, Abbie and Race follow Gideon’s trail through the scorching desert, where every shadow holds a secret and every step could be their last.
In "The Ice Wagon," Brood uncovers the grim truth behind Parkhurst’s theft from the Apache, a secret that deepens the tension in the frozen frontier. When Betts learns the location of Maria—knowing full well it’s a trap set for Brood—he steps in, determined to save her despite the danger.
In the dusty aftermath of a brutal ambush, Brood and Clay reunite with Race and Abby, only to plunge back into danger as they aid Betts in rescuing Maria. When the group returns to town, they’re met with a chilling sight: the re-animated corpse of Jimmy Miggs, his eyes fixed on Gideon with a hunger that defies death.
