Doug Wildey's Rio: The Complete Saga #[nn]

Doug Wildey’s *Rio: The Complete Saga* #nn presents "Rio, Part I: The Hide Butchers," a self-contained tale from the legendary creator who both wrote and illustrated every page. When poker player Jonny Hardluck wins the coveted 'Golden Egg' from the McKee family, it sets off a chain of danger that brings him into the orbit of the sharp-eyed Rio—whose life is saved when Jonny intervenes. The story unfolds with the kind of lean, rugged tension Wildey mastered, as the two men’s fates intertwine in a world where loyalty is tested and debts are paid in blood. The cover, also by Wildey, captures the gritty, high-stakes mood of the tale.
