The popularity of the characters brought about a series of spin-off books, dubbed the "Dollars" series due to the common theme in their titles:

* ''A Fistful of Dollars'', film novelization by [[Terry Harknett|Frank Chandler]]
* ''For a Few Dollars More'', film novelization by Joe Millard
* ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'', film novelization by Joe Millard
* ''A Coffin Full of Dollars'' by Joe Millard
* ''A Dollar to Die For'' by Brian Fox (a pseudonym for [[Todhunter Ballard]]<ref>{{Cite book |last=Carty |first=T. J. |title=A Dictionary of Literary Pseudonyms in the English Language |publisher=[[Fitzroy Dearborn Publishers|Fitzroy Dearborn]] |year=2000 |isbn=1579582095 |edition=2nd |location=Chicago, Ill., USA |pages=272}}</ref>)
* ''The Devil's Dollar Sign'' by Joe Millard
* ''The Million-Dollar Bloodhunt'' by Joe Millard
* ''Blood For a Dirty Dollar'' by Joe Millard

''A Coffin Full of Dollars'' provides some background history; when he was young, The Man with No Name was a ranch hand who was continually persecuted by an older hand named Carvell. The trouble eventually led to a shootout between the two with Carvell being outdrawn and killed; however, an examination of Carvell's body revealed a scar which identified him as Monk Carver, a wanted man with a $1,000 bounty. After comparing the received bounty with his $10-a-month ranch pay, the young cowhand chose to change his life and become a bounty hunter.

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 (comic)|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''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newsarama.com/793-christos-gage-on-the-man-with-no-name.html |title=Christos Gage on The Man With No Name |last=Brady |first=Matt |date=15 August 2008 |website=[[Newsarama]] |access-date=2 February 2014}}</ref> The first issue was released in March 2008, entitled, ''The Man with No Name: The Good, The Bad, and The Uglier''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newsarama.com/2767-first-look-dynamite-s-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-1.html |title=First Look: Dynamite's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly #1 |last=Brady |first=Matt |date=28 April 2009 |website=[[Newsarama]] |access-date=2 February 2014}}</ref> Luke Lieberman and Matt Wolpert took over the writing for issues #7–11.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newsarama.com/820-the-man-with-no-name-s-new-team-lieberman-wolpert.html |title=The Man With No Name's New Team: Lieberman & Wolpert |last=Brady |first=Matt |date=19 August 2008 |website=[[Newsarama]] |access-date=2 February 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18549 |title=New Writers on The Man With No Name |last=Phegley |first=Kiel |date=23 October 2008 |website=[[Comic Book Resources]] |access-date=2 February 2014}}</ref> 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''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newsarama.com/826-chuck-dixon-to-write-the-man-with-no-name.html |title=Chuck Dixon to Write The Man With No Name |last=Brady |first=Matt |date=20 August 2008 |website=[[Newsarama]] |access-date=2 February 2014}}</ref> The new series is not an adaptation of the movie, despite its title.
