Created in the [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks 1970s "Weird" phase]] in comics, Jonah Hex was created as a deliberate subversion of every Western hero cliche you can think. He then ended up being the last headline character of the genre in the comic book medium. He first appeared in ''"All-Star Western''" vol. 2 #10 (February-March, 1972), created by John Albano and Tony [=DeZuniga=] . The title was soon taken over by Michael Fleischer and renamed ''"Weird Western Tales''", with Jonah remaining its star to 1977. He was then moved to his own series, which lasted from 1977 to 1985. When his original series ended, Jonah was thrown into a post-Apocalyptic future à la ''Film/MadMax'' in a title called simply ''Hex'', lasting another two years. Fleischer's run of more than a dozen years is one of [[PrintLongRunners DC's longest for a character under a single writer]].

He had a few miniseries in Creator/VertigoComics with a [[WeirdWest supernatural bent]], went on to a [[ComicBook/JonahHex2005 new DCU series]] that, with UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode having lost any meaningful power, was even {{Darker|AndEdgier}} and [[BloodierAndGorier Gorier]] than before, and eventually came full circle, returning to the pages of ''ComicBook/AllStarWestern'' in the ComicBook/{{New 52}} as the main character.
