In July 2007, American comic book company Dynamite Entertainment announced that they were going to begin publishing a comic book featuring the character, titled "The Man With No Name". Set after the events of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", the comic is written by Christos Gage. Dynamite refers to him as "Blondie", the nickname Tuco uses for him in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". The first issue was released in March 2008, entitled, "The Man with No Name: The Good, The Bad, and The Uglier". Luke Lieberman and Matt Wolpert took over the writing for issues #7-11. Initially, Chuck Dixon was scheduled to take over the writing chores with issue #12, but Dynamite ended the series and opted to use Dixon's storyline for a new series titled "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". The new series is not an adaptation of the movie, despite its title. After releasing eight issues, Dynamite abandoned the series.
