Garth Ennis/Steve Pugh/Carlos Ezquerra/Richard Case - Preacher: Ancient History

Back-stories for the Saint of Killers (good - a real dark Western myth) and "you-know-who" (ie, 'Arseface'; very much on the dull side), and an episode from the past involving Jody, T.C., and a pair of cliche action movie heroes (a send-up, obviously, and a rather fey one - odd to see such direct satire in a Preacher comic). Not up to the standard of the series proper (Jesse etc don't appear, although the Devil does), but still compelling enough.
