We got yer retro right here

Probably y’all saw this already, but Tim Pratt’s The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl has the coolest cover.
I read this one in early manuscript and I’m really looking forward to seeing the real thing. (Even if he didn’t make any of the changes I suggested.)
Just seeing Tim’s name in that woodblock Western font sends the theme to “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” whistling through my ears. Between Rangergirl and “Hart and Boot”, Tim’s well on his way to becoming Mr. Alternative Western. I may have to jump on that bandwagon one of these days.
Thanks, David! I recently finished a Rangergirl spin-off story, too. It's set in the world of the comic book, and features the immortal Gilles de Rais, among other characters.
I probably took some of your advice, and you're certainly mentioned in the acknowledgments.
