Bloody Chester by Hilary Florido, J.T. Petty
3.0
The story of a boy by the name of Chester Kates (or Lady Kate as he seems to be known in the bar) begins as the boy picks himself up from the gutter, stumbles into a bar, then is summarily beaten and tossed back to the gutter.
"Bloody" Chester matches his name, from the first page to the last he weaves a bloody story from end to end. It was a bit of a twisted story, but all the threads came together in the end. Though it may have been a hangman's noose we were weaving.
The story is wonderfully bleak and the art a great match. Chester is paid to burn a town to the ground in the name of progress, but what haunts the town, disease, a supernatural curse, or something far more human?
And what is it with Chester's horse, Chester? They seem to have some deep and interesting back story. All the characters had grit. And booze. So a good western ghost story all around.
