Recently (just today) I had finished reading "wolves of the calla".
And I'm sure everyone has made this connection in how it's a very surreal western in that there's a town in trouble by an outside force and the townspeople hire wandering gunslingers to rid them of this problem.
But since this is Stephen King - nothing is ordinary.
Although, in the way that there are references to advanced technology that is slowly winding down to a halt.
There is a Japanese Anime that is a lot like that called "Trigun". It is set on a distant world (though not explicitly named but is said at several sites) called "Gunsmoke". On this world is a wandering outlaw named "Vash the Stampede" who has the largest bounty on his head.
The connection that I saw to Wolves of the Calla is how the world of Trigun is filled with advanced technology that is growing old and starting to wind down to a halt.
Would be interesting to show this to Stephen King himself, just to see his reaction.
