Jonah Hex officially moseyed into comics on this day in 1971.

The character first appeared in a full-page ad for All-Star Western #10, which was published in various November/December 1971-dated DC titles. He then made his debut in the actual comic in a story by writer John Albano and artist Tony DeZuniga. The title would change to Weird Western Tales soon thereafter, which Jonah Hex would headline for several years before finally getting his own title in 1977.

“When I went to my doctor, I saw this beautiful chart of the human anatomy. And I saw the anatomy of the figure was split in half, straight from head to toe. Half his skeleton was there, half his nerves and muscles. That’s where I got the idea it won’t be too bad if his distortion would be half,” DeZuniga said in an interview back in 2010.

Genius (2016) Review

Max Perkins was a book editor at Scibner and he oversaw some incredible authors with Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, but this focuses on him being the first to truly believe in Thomas Wolfe and the relationship they would have until his early death. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Continue reading Untitled

The Executioners: A Chronicle Of Kayfabe Killers In WWE 

Griffin Kaye Wrestling history is littered with recycled gimmicks, with everything from finishers to themes to looks being reinterpreted by different wrestlers, with Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair walking (even if barely these days) examples of the success of pro wrestling knock-offs. One particular often-repeated gimmick is that of The Executioner, which has seen many wrestlers down the hood over the…

Stay Tuned (1992)

In today's review, I try to convince you not to change that channel. As I attempt a #positive review of the devilish comedy, Stay Tuned #JohnRitter #PamDawber #JeffreyJones #DavidTom #HeatherMcComb #BobDishy #EugeneLevy #ErikKing #DonCalfa #SusanBlommaert

T.V. is the medium that can do multitudes, elevate the masses, expand minds, and provide an artistic outlet for millions. It can also be incredibly addictive, lulling people into a vegetative state, apathetic to most of life’s concerns barring the next box set. This is not a new phenomenon, with similar sentiments being thrown at the device since its invention. In 1992, a satirical take on the…

WRESTLING ALL STARS: Heroes and Villains : February 1993 

Ready for something really scary, boys and girls? CACTUS JACK’S A MANAGER! 

By GEORGE NAPOLITANO

The wild, weird and wacky Cactus Jack has taken up a new career. He’s now a manager in the WCW. Cactus is managing the affairs of the unpredictable Barbarian and the one-time “Mr. USA” Tony Atlas. It wasn’t that many years ago that people said Cactus Jack was unmanageable! How can a man known for his unpredictable and bizarre behavior come to manage two veterans like the Barbarian and Tony Atlas?

[Cactus says, “People say I’m nuts–but I know exactly what I’m gonna do every time I enter the wrestling arena!”]

It defies logic but it’s true. Several months ago after suffering a severe groin pull, Cactus Jack approached the Barbarian about helping his career. The Barbarian surprisingly agreed and the two have been together ever since.  Cactus confided in the Barbarian that he knew how to make him a champion. Cactus Jack has been putting the Barbarian through a very rigorous training regime. The training may be unorthodox by normal standards but why would anyone think that Cactus Jack would stoop to orthodox tactics for his stable of contenders?

“No one gives me any credit at all,” Cactus moaned after putting his proteges through another strenuous routine. “I know exactly what I am going to do every time I climb through the ropes. My job is to win in any way I can and I will use anything I can to get the job done. If it means using a chair, the ring posts, the guard rails or the stairs to beat my opponent, I will use it. People say I’m unorthodox. People say I’m nuts. Some say I’m crazy–but tell me what’s wrong with using stairs if they’re there? It doesn’t matter how you win just as long as you win and the Barbarian understands this now. He’s a man after my own heart. He’s tough, strong, powerful and a little crazy too. That’s what makes him so good. Besides the Barbarian, I now have Tony Atlas in my stable too, and my new killer is the same way. He used to be soft but my good friend Tony Rumble taught him a better way. Now he’s ready to be champion in the WCW. With the Barbarian and Atlas I’ve got the next champions in my corner.”

[While wrestling for UWS a few years back, Cactus was managed by wrestling legend Maniac John Tolos.

While the Barbarian looks on, Cactus explains to WCW announcer Jim Ross just how he and the big guy are going to conquer the world!]

It’s still hard to fathom how Cactus Jack–never a champ himself–can instill enough knowledge into his men to make them champions. Although this may seem impossible in theory, there are many other managers who fall into this category. The renowned Captain Lou Albano never won a title; neither did Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. Paul E. Dangerously, Jim Cornette and Jimmy Hart never even donned a pair of tights! Using this as a barometer, Cactus Jack then certainly has the credentials to be a manager! If Cactus is even half as successful as these other great managers, the Barbarian and Tony Atlas could be championship bound.

[The maniac’s table of wrestlers is already impressive. Cactus has taken The Barbarian and Tony Atlas beneath his dement wing!

A horribly bloodied Cactus Jack screams at the crowd following a match in the Orient.]

Whether the Barbarian and Tony Atlas can achieve championship status remains to be seen, but Cactus certainly has them believing in themselves. With their new positive energy, their strength, agility and skill and unpredictable behavior of Cactus Jack at Ringside, the Barbarian and Tony Atlas could be championship bound.

[Here’s how the Barbarian looked back in the days when he was one half of the WWF tag team known as The Powers of Pain.

Cactus Jack may seem like a complete lunatic in the ring, but insiders say he isn’t as crazy as he acts. Yes, there's a method in his madness!

Cactus Jack’s new main man is Tony Atlas, shown here working over Greg “The Hammer” Valentine.]

Don’t laugh, stranger things have happened in the crazy world of professional wrestling!
