The Man With No Name Chronology

By Loki Comics, Content, Film, Literature, Random, Western

The iconic Western character, of whose assorted appearances it’s remarkable for any two to appear in the actual order they occur.
Obviously, it’s a big assumption that the Man With No Name is in fact the same man in all three films – but they work as a thematic trilogy. On that level, consider this a thematic timeline.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: The film on Blu-ray. He’s called ‘Blondie’ in this one, but that’s obviously just a nickname.
Man With No Name, vol. 1: Sinners and Saints: Reprints The Man With No Name #1-6
The Man With No Name, vol. 2: Holiday in the Sun: Reprints The Man With No Name #7-11
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, vol. 1: Reprints The Good, The Bad and The Ugly #1-6
For a Few Dollars More: The film on Blu-ray. In this one, his nickname is ‘Manco’ (Spanish for ‘one-armed’, because he rarely uses his right hand other than to shoot).
A Fistful of Dollars: The film on Blu-ray. He’s called ‘Joe’ in this one.
A Coffin Full of Dollars: Novel by Joe Millard.
A Dollar to Die For: Novel by Brian Fox.
The Devil’s Dollar Sign: Novel by Joe Millard.
The Million-Dollar Bloodhunt: Novel by Joe Millard.
Blood For a Dirty Dollar: Novel by Joe Millard.

I mean, it has dinosaurs. Sometimes even drawn by Walt Simonson.
What more could you possibly want?
