The Big Bad Wolf: Can you give our readers a synopsis of Gunbreed?
Gunbreed comic Angel Fuentes: Gunbreed is a supernatural western about a Sheriff William “Powder” Cain, a man who witnesses the death of his son at the hands of the Black Cloud gang. One of the members of this gang practices black magic and puts on a curse that kills the Sheriff and his entire town. Needless to say, Powder Cain comes back from the dead to get his revenge.
The Big Bad Wolf: Who are the main characters?
Angel Fuentes: Powder Cain is the focus of the story. He is a lawman, dedicated to protecting his town and his son. Billy is Powder Cain’s son. He’s a very naïve, but brave young man who would do anything to make his father proud. And then, of course are the bad guys, namely the Black Cloud gang ruled by Henry “Black Cloud” Stevens and his girlfriend Kristie. Samuel is the black magician, and the real threat within the gang.
The Big Bad Wolf: How did you come up with the idea for this character, Sheriff William "Powder" Cain, what other characters/movies influenced his creation, etc?
Angel Fuentes: I first came up with Powder Cain in 1999. Back then, the character was more talkative, very John Wayne. I used a lot of narrative in the stories. I published a few comics with that version of the character. Then Alberto Cortes, the artist, and I, decided to go for a darker tone for the book. So I took out the narratives and played more with silent moments and face expressions. Now we have Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven with a touch of Dawn of the Dead. This is a new and darker beginning for Gunbreed.
The Big Bad Wolf: Is this an ongoing, or mini series?
Angel Fuentes: Gunbreed: Ghost Town Resurrected is actually a self contained one-shot comic. It leaves a few threads hanging for other possible miniseries or series if the demand is there, but you get a complete story from beginning to end with this one.
The Big Bad Wolf: Who is going to be publishing this book, and where can our readers get a copy?
