Created by David Gallaher and Steve Ellis, High Moon was part of Zuda's initial launch in October 2007. Month later, High Moon[3] was awarded a contract with DC Comics, where the strip was serialized on Zuda.com. Scott O. Brown was the production artist and letterer.
In the first series, a bounty hunter, Matthew Macgregor, investigates a series of strange happenings in the Texas town of Blest, where drought has brought famine and hardship to most of the town and surrounding ranches. Additionally, the nights are haunted by werewolves. While Macgregor, a former Pinkerton detective, seeks to uncover the town's secrets, he tries desperately to keep secret his own past steeped in witchcraft and the supernatural.
The second series finds werewolf-hunter Macgregor in Ragged Rock, Oklahoma, investigating a series of murders following a bizarre train robbery, and finds himself caught in a vendetta and confronting a technological monstrosity.
In series three, Macgregor helps a young woman and finds himself amid two warring factions in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Bayou and High Moon were the first two Zuda titles to be published as graphic novels, in June and October 2009, respectively by DC Comics.[6]
In October 2017, Papercutz published new trade editions of the series.
