Tex Arcana is a graphic serial that appeared in American comics magazine Heavy Metal, beginning with the March 1981 issue and continuing intermittently through 1985. It was written and drawn by John Findley.
Initially, the series was conceived as an adult-oriented parody of horror and Old West genres, combining standard vampire, werewolf (or, in this case, "werecoyote"), and goblin characters with classic Western themes, using a format loosely based on the EC Comics horror publications of the 1950s. It strove toward a goal of combining humor with genuine horror.
