Virgil Earp In Prescott And The Earps In Arizona

June 27, 2020
   We've got a good, in depth, story coming up in True West on Virgil Earp's time in Prescott, Arizona. Wyatt's older brother landed in the Mile High City a couple times and we've got the goods.

   So, I've been noodling some cover ideas.

   Another angle into the story which will broaden the issue a bit, is to include Wyatt's controversial episode of standing off a mob in the Johnny-Behind-the-Deuce embroglio.

Here's a statue I'd like to see:

"Cara del Caballo" (Horse Face)

   And here's one of our favorite one-eyed captivos.

Daily Whip Out: 

"Mickey's Head In The Clouds

      And, here's the view on my walk this morning.

   Still looking a little bleak over there, but the monsoons are on the way and we are hoping for some healing in our neighborhood.
