One hundred years after World War III - America was a nuked-out wasteland, a gutted remnant of a once-glorious country where only the very strong - and the evil - survived. The Warriors - Possessed of incomparable strength and skill, they were a fighting unit determined to keep civilization alive in a dead land.

One hundred years after WWIII.... The once-proud city of Dallas, Texas, was a hellhole crawling with rats, a haven for savage hordes of criminals and killers.

The Family - They were a civilized island in an uncivilized land. The Warriors - Experts in death, they were unparalleled in strength, unmatched in skill - and dedicated to the protection of the Family.

Ralph Compton created a distinct brand of Western that lives on in the epic tales bearing his name. Bullet for a Bad Man features brothers Boone and Epp, who have little in common besides a God-given ability to draw steel with eyesearing speed.

But he never thought Epp’s ambitions would turn brother against brother—nor imagine he’d face the prospect of sending his own kin to the next world.

Led by Blade, they were seven hand-picked members of the Freedom Federation. Each was a volunteer because no one had the guts to order them to go anywhere; each alone was worth an army - together, they couldn’t be stopped.

Instead, they fought with a savagery that would drive the invaders back to the land of perpetual nuclear winter.

One hundred years after WWIII, what was left of America was swarming with mutants, killers, and savages bent on plunging the world into eternal darkness. Isolated survivors of the holocaust, the Family was the last, best hope for the future of mankind.

After the Dance first appeared in 2004, 10 years after South Africa’s wildly enthusiastic embrace of freedom and democracy. Its value now, 15 years later, seems to be as a portrait of a new democracy that is losing its innocence. The optimism remains widespread, but the cracks, first hinted at in the 2004 edition, are beginning to show.
