A good portion of these films are terrible but I'm only noting them because you asked for films in this genre. Also, more than a few are present-day Westerns(Carpenter's Vampires, Near Dark, etc)
Television

"Tales From the Crypt" - ep26 - Carrion Death (1991)- An escaped con running for the Mexican border ends up killing a state trooper named, but in the process gets cuffed to him and has to drag the heavy corpse across the desert to freedom.

Books/Comics
A ton of books/stories by Joe Lansdale("On the Far Side of the Cadillac Desert with the Dead Folks" for example)
I haven't read all that much comics with this type of theme but the ones that immediately come to mind:
Preacher - Saint of Killers mini-series(unbelieveably awesome)
Jonah Hex(nothing like the movie in that it's actually GOOD)
El Diablo(mini-series from Vertigo)
