Ghost Dance

Ghost Dance is the sixth arc of The Sixth Gun ongoing series. It ran for six issues.

Publication History
Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt always envisioned the Native American elements being a part of the story, but held off on introducing them until this arc so that the The Sixth Gun wouldn't be read as a "Cowboys and Indians" pastiche. They wanted to firmly establish The Sixth Gun as a "non-western western" before introducing the Native American characters.

The nightmare reality in which General Hume and Missy won, was something that Bunn and Hurtt had a lot of material for—enough for two arcs—but was stripped back to only a few issues for pacing reasons.

Griselda becomes a major character in this arc, but originally she was only supposed to be a background character. Bunn describes her as growing from nothing. As Griselda's tragic past took shape in Bunn's mind, he found he had to do more with her.
