The Sixth Gun

In the mid-2010s, Oni Press published The Sixth Gun, a six-issue comic series that wove together elements of the Western and supernatural horror genres. While the series built on concepts from creator Cullen Bunn's earlier work, it stands as a self-contained story involving a mysterious, powerful weapon and the various forces—both human and otherworldly—that seek to claim it. The series is noted for its atmospheric, dust-choked art by Brian Hurtt, whose detailed linework and shadowy palette helped define the book's gritty, mythic tone. The Sixth Gun remains a key title from Oni Press's run of creator-owned genre comics, demonstrating how the publisher blended classic American frontier storytelling with dark fantasy.
