Greetings!
What's everyone's thoughts or maybe experiences with crossing Westerns with other genre, a few come to mind: Firefly, Johna Hex, Cowboys and Aliens, and The Dark Tower series (which I have not read yet). Most of these are TV/movie or comic books, could a Fantasy/Western cross in book form work? Or is it best to stick with straight Old West.
I was working on a plain Western when I came across this picture here and thought it would be a neat idea to add a bit of Fantasy, I don't really know what it would be at this moment. I would want to keep it 80% Western with 20% of the Fantasy. Any thoughts on this?
