PREACHER TALL IN THE SADDLE

by Garth Ennis; art by Steve Dillon & John McCrea; painted cover by Glenn Fabry

A one-shot revealing the early days in the romance of Jesse and Tulip. There was a time before Jesse Custer ever encountered the force known as Genesis, when he was a young man, stubborn and reckless and madly in love with the his pistol-packin' sweetheart, Tulip O'Hare. Theirs was a wild love, and their adventures even wilder, as seen in Preacher: Tall in the Saddle, a Vertigo Prestige one-shot. Written and pencilled by Preacher co-creators Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon (with inks by Hitman's John McCrea and a painted cover by Glenn Fabry), Tall in the Special finds Jesse and Tulip tasting the outlaw life and getting into some deep trouble. When our heroes lose a trailer-load of stolen cars in a high-speed chase, their none-too-happy employer offers them a chance to make amends: drive a shipment of stolen horses to a slaughterhouse. Jesse's refusal sets the stage for a high noon showdown - one that pits them against ruthless horse-thieves, vicious arms dealers, and a criminal enterprise more heinous than they ever could have imagined! Mature Readers.
