John Wayne appears as a ghost who guides Jesse Custer down his road to being a good man. John Wayne first appeared to Jesse Custer when the boy was 5 years old, right after his father had died. Jesse would later find this odd, as Wayne actually died five years after his ghost had reached out from the television set to offer to be Jesse's partner but none the less, Jesse (who idolized John Wayne due to his father's talks about him) agreed and shook the Ghost's hand. Still, Wayne appeared at the key turning points in Jesse's life, offering advice, support and, when necessary, criticism. He disappeared for a while when Jesse finally caved in to his grandmother, with his parting word simply being, "Fagot." (1)
