I am probably dating myself, but one of the best movies in this theme is The Cowboys, 1972, with John Wayne.

Excellent flick. Well worth watching with the family.

as a childhood comics nerd, Lone Wolf & Cub was one of my all time favorites.

Never knew this was why it went away. I probably started about the 1987 timeframe (I would have been 12/13) and probably kept up with it until it went away in 1991 even though I was otherwise pretty much out of comics by then.
Lone Wolf and Cub was initially released in North America in a translated English edition by First Comics in 1987, as a series of monthly, comic-book-sized, square-bound black-and-white comics containing between 64 and 128 pages, featuring covers by Frank Miller, and later by Bill Sienkiewicz, Matt Wagner, Mike Ploog, and Ray Lago. Sales were initially strong, but fell sharply as the company went into a general decline. First Comics shut down in 1991 without completing the series, publishing less than a third of the total series over 45 issues.
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
Collins' best work is definitely Road to Perdition, but if you liked Quarry, try Donald Westlake's (aka Richard Stark) Parker series.
Parker was Collins' inspiration for Quarry - and I recall the first Quarry novel is actually dedicated to Westlake.
"Sure, I stole from Westlake and Stark. If they didn’t want me to, they shouldn’t have written about thieves!" -- Max Alan Collins
"When the phone rang, Parker was in the garage, killing a man."
Small world though...I'm also a fan of Max Allen Collins, though perhaps not the most learned fan on his bibliography. My interest in his work was brought about mostly because I know his son pretty well and when he told me about the books his dad wrote. Being a fan of the genre already, I was interested to read more.
