"Weird Western Tales" is a Western genre comic book title published by DC Comics which ran from June-July 1972 to August 1980. It is perhaps best known for featuring the adventures of Jonah Hex before the character was promoted to his own eponymous series. Scalphunter then took Hex's place as the featured character in Weird Western Tales.
