QUOTE FROM THE CREATOR LOUIS SOUTHARD: 

"This is my second comic book series, and I still find it hard to believe that it's made it this far since I first thought of the idea while I was bored at a cafe. I was sitting there daydreaming, and I thought to myself, "Oh, goth cowboys! Never really seen that before." For some odd reason, that idea never left my brain. Now, Midnight Western Theatre is a real thing, and that's just insane. I love this book's world and the characters in it, so it's going to be great sharing it with others now. I'm pretty ecstatic to work with Scout on this series, because I know it's in good hands and the story will get the treatment it deserves!"
