-  * After tracking down and killing half the Barrow Gang for the reward, 66-year-old Jonah Hex meets Michael Wheeler, history professor at Princeton University, who interviews Hex over the next few months in order to write his biography. George Barrow, seeking revenge, kidnaps Hex's wife Tall Bird in order to draw him out. Assisted by Wheeler, Hex kills the rest of the gang except for Barrow himself, who escapes. Delivering the dead gunmen to the police in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Hex is ambushed while cleaning his glasses during a card game, then shot by George Barrow, who is in turn killed by Police Chief Crawford. After Wheeler delivers Hex's body to his wife, they are both murdered by Lew Farnham, owner of L.B. Farnham's Spectacular Wild West Revue, who steals Hex's corpse, treats it at a taxidermist, and puts it on exhibit in a gaudy-looking costume for his revue. Farnham is later killed by robbers, who steal the stuffed corpse, which is sold to an antique shop in the Midwest, then moved to a warehouse in Detroit, before showing up in 1972 at the Westworld Amusement Park on the outskirts of New York City, where the corpse is believed to be only a dummy.
