“To say that Pro Se Productions is proud,” says Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro Se, “to be a part of the continuing adventures of THE GUNSMITH is a huge understatement. As a Publisher, I’ve been aware of Bob Randisi’s work and this particular series all along, primarily because I was a fan many years before I was a part of Pro Se. To be able to work with an author of Bob’s caliber and then, to top it off, to be publishing the adventures of such an iconic adult western hero as THE GUNSMITH, is probably the crowning achievement thus far for Pro Se, and for me as well.”
THE GUNSMITH #400-THE LINCOLN RANSOM by J. R. Roberts will be released the week of February 15th. With Randisi writing as Roberts, Hancock will be the series editor, with Percival Constantine providing print formatting and artist Jeffrey Hayes providing covers and logo design.
