In "The Martinet," Gaylord Du Bois crafts a sharp, character-driven tale set in post-American takeover California, where tensions simmer between English-speaking emigrants and long-standing Spanish settlers. With Mike Sekowsky’s expressive art and Mike Peppe’s precise inks, the story captures the cultural clash with grounded detail and quiet intensity, all rendered in a 15-cent comic from 1961.
