You mostly know DC comics for your superhero books, but he has also published a proper part of Western comics: “All-star Western,” “Funny Western Tales,” etc. But a 1997 comic went out of the west and turned the Nyaya League into a cowboy: “Justice Riders,” Scripted by Chak Dixon and designed by JH Williams III.
In the border city of heaven, Outlaw Felix Fost draws a courageous migration that destroys the city and kills deputy Oberon. Sheriff Diana Prince goes out to take revenge and collects a pose to bring justice: Kid Flash, Hawkman, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle and Martian Manhunter.
Wait why in Character? Because it is based on the Contemporary Justice League line-up. In the late 80s in the mid -90s, “Justice League” acted mostly more vague characters. That JM Demetis, Kevin Maguire and Keith Gifen did a great job for 1987 “Justice League: International” RelonchIt was still a superhero book, but it dialed the spectacle back to pay more attention to comedy and characterization.
In 1993, Wonder became the leader of the Woman Justice League, So he is also the star of “Justice Riders”. Maxwell Lord, a rich CEO and sponsor of Justice League International, has been re -manufactured in “Justice Riders” as a La Real Railroad Magnet Eh Hariman.
Later in 1997, Grant Morrison and Howard Porter resumed the Justice League in “JLA” with a classic line-up. This returned the book to the house of DC’s A-list characters and soon launched the “Justice League” cartoon series. “Justice Riders” was one of the last gases of the Justice League, which was a place for B-Listers.
Cowboys become superheroes in DC’s Justice Riders
The lead in “Justice Riders” is all recognizable. The costumes can be remake from the content of the 19th century, but there is no misleading who is. Diana still has a red, blue and golden eagle corset in Diana. Kid flash wears a leather jacket of an old -time, but a red with an electric bolt. A blue beetle wears a goggle pilot mask with antenna, claiming negative ionization that promotes her brain power.
The backstory of the characters is also converted into Western fundamentalists. As a kid flash, Valley West is the fastest ganlinger of Frontier rather than the fastest man. He is also on the run to kill Marshal Barry Alan of Abileen, Kansas. His chase is a Pinkan Detective, Gai Gardner/Kid Baltimore. Green lantern is originally space police, so naturally, the lantern in this story is a pinkan.

Hawkman is an original American mitigation, Boster Gold is a gambling gunman, and Blue Beetle is an inventor. John Jones is a mysterious law hunting God for his reasons. When he first appears, he is in the shade, only a camp is burnt by fire, and you cannot tell if his skin is really green or simply burnt in this way.
At the end of the comic, it turns out that the blue beetle was telling the novelist Clarke Kent, the author of “Colonel Kent’s Wild West Bravados”, to the dyme novelist Clarke Kent. A part of Kent’s story is that Maxwell Lord had a foreign partner. One “strange visitors from another planet … it’s great.”

The comic eventually bends to the fictional steampank side of western people. Lord has an army of Android, the clock is tomorrow’s earnings, and its goal is a completely automatic railroad, which does not require workers profit-sharing. However, what is this, it is that the art of Williams otherwise bends in the visual language of Western people. The panel of Diana Dafan Oberon (above) is out of the “unforgiving” of Clint Eastwood.
Justice Riders DC Comics is one of many Elsworlds stories
“Justice Riders” is a shot comic, but it was part of a large DC Meta-series: Elsworlds. Similar to Marvel’s “What If If …”, Elsworlds will take DC characters and paste them in unfamiliar settings or styles.
The first Elsworld’s story, or at least proof of the concept of the brand, is often considered “Batman: Gaslight by Gautham.” Written by Brian Augustin and prepared by Mike Mignola (who used his experience attracting Batman to make Helboy), was depicted in the 19th -century Gotham City in the Comic to become Bruce Wayne Batman in Gotham City.
“Justice Riders” is packed in the collected version: “DC Elsworlds: Justice League” Volume 1The book -opening page has clearly explained the base of Elsworlds:
“In Elsworlds, the heroes are taken from their normal settings and put in strange times and places. Some that existed, or exist, may not exist, and others who cannot do what they cannot.
Other stories included in the volume are “the best of Elsworld” (where Batman and Superman are Pulp Heroes of the 1920s), “Wonder Woman: Amazonia” (where Diana Victorian becomes a hero in Victorian London), “League of Justice” (where superheroes live in a high fictional world) are included.
At the end of the “Justice Riders”, Blue Beetle sadly told Kent that the team was only riding together on that one adventure. If they are remembered, it will be in the form of a myth. DC has never published a full-on “Justice Riders” series, but there are sometimes nodes for comic. Grant Morrison’s “Multivorcity” listed Justice Riders on Prithvi -18. The conclusion of season 1 of “Justice League Unlimited”, titled “The Once and Future Thing”, with Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern is thrown back on time to the old west.
I will not expect to watch a “Justice Riders” movie from DC Studio in James Gun, but it is a fun short comic with a Nifty base. If you can dig it, I will encourage you to do so.
