Desperadoes: Banners of Gold

In 2005, IDW launched Desperadoes: Banners of Gold, a single-issue Western comic that serves as a standalone chapter in the broader Desperadoes saga. Written by Jeff Mariotte with art by John Cassaday, this installment follows a band of outlaws and gunslingers as they pursue a legendary treasure, blending gritty frontier action with supernatural undertones. Though brief, the issue showcases the creative team's talent for atmospheric, character-driven storytelling within the genre. It stands as a notable entry for fans of IDW's Western output and Mariotte's ongoing exploration of the Old West's darker myths.
