Jonah Hex is best approached as a screen interpretation of the character’s foundations rather than a panel-for-panel adaptation. Start with All-Star Western #10, then compare it with Weird Western Tales #14–38 and Jonah Hex: Two-Gun Mojo #1–5. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
