* ''ComicBook/{{Hitman}}'' has Tommy go up against a telepathic gunslinger who can and will outdraw anyone due to reading their minds. The BigBad mockingly asks how Tommy's going to beat that, Nat obligingly provides the answer: [[spoiler:have your buddy blow his head off while he's not looking]].
* The "Luna-1" arc of ''ComicBook/{{JudgeDredd}}'' had Judge Dredd working as the sheriff of the very western themed Luna-1 colony on the moon.

Dredd, despite having to drawn from his boot holster and not his hip, still manages to outdraw the robot and fire a kill shot. The robot, being a sore loser, then tries to blow Dredd away with a missile before being destroyed.
