 The story is set in the Western United States after the end of the Civil War but before the closing of the frontier.It is an example of Weird West fiction, combining elements of horror (specially werewolves) and science fiction within a Western setting.Originally solicited for publication by Speakeasy Comics in 2005, "Strangeways" was pulled from their schedule by the author when it became clear that Speakeasy's financial troubles would shut the company down before completion of even the first story arc.
