“Don Jose”

" Don Jose" is a standout story from Four Color #1 (1942), a 10-cent comic that captures the stark realities of the American Dust Bowl through a tale of deception and consequence. Written and drawn by Harold Gray, with additional art and inking by Robert Leffingwell, the story follows the rise of the fictional village of Eutopia, built on promises of fertile land that quickly turn to dust. The narrative unfolds with quiet gravity, exposing the fragile hopes of settlers caught in the grip of nature and greed.
