☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDoug Wildey's Rio: The Complete Saga collects the entire run of the Western adventure series featuring Rio, a stoic gunslinger and former Confederate soldier navigating the post-Civil War frontier. This IDW edition brings together all of Wildey's original stories, showcasing his distinctive art and gritty storytelling in a single volume.
Doug Wildey’s Rio: The Complete Saga #nn presents "Rio, Part I: The Hide Butchers," a self-contained tale from the legendary creator who both wrote and illustrated every page. When poker player Jonny Hardluck wins the coveted 'Golden Egg' from the McKee family, it sets off a chain of danger that brings him into the orbit of the sharp-eyed Rio—whose life is saved when Jonny intervenes. The story unfolds with the kind of lean, rugged tension Wildey mastered, as the two men’s fates intertwine in a world where loyalty is tested and debts are paid in blood. The cover, also by Wildey, captures the gritty, high-stakes mood of the tale.
In "The Hide Butchers," Rio faces a dangerous mission: protect buffalo herds from being slaughtered by railroad passengers, a growing threat that's provoking unrest among the nearby tribes. With a presidential pardon on the line, Rio must navigate the lawless frontier where greed, survival, and justice collide.
In "Hot Lead for Johnny Hardluck," Jo finds himself in a high-stakes poker game with the McKee family, winning the coveted Golden Egg—only to face deadly consequences when they try to reclaim it. Rio steps in to save Jo’s life, setting off a chain of loyalty that comes full circle when Jo returns the favor by rescuing Rio from a ruthless casino operator.
