West: The Train Leaves At Noon
West is the ongoing story of the life of Jerusalem West, often called Joe, in the America of the 19th century. Ranging from straight westerns of the Sergio Leone and John Ford movie school to horror-influenced tales inspired by the DC Comics ‘weird westerns’, West is a series of self-contained issues in non-chronological order, each one adding to the whole.

West: The Train Leaves At Noon
Kansas, 1891. While travelling across state, Jerusalem West and Wilton Frohickie encounter a mysterious and bedraggled figure, a man who hands over a tattered journal before dying and wasting away in front of them. The journal may lead to treasure… or it may lead to damnation.
So begins a journey between life and death, this world and the next, as West and Frohickie are drawn into a surreal, nightmarish adventure in the dark side of the American West.
‘The Train Leaves At Noon’ is a unique entry in the ongoing saga of Jerusalem West – told entirely in the form of a daily newspaper strip. Previously featured in John Maybury’s “The Newspaper Strip Collection of Oscar Charles Drayton”, and collected here for the first time, this edition now features the never-before-seen conclusion to the story.
Written by Andrew Cheverton and illustrated by Tim Keable, The Train Leaves At Noon is 20 pages of black and white story in a special landscape format, with full colour cardstock covers.
