Hex #16

Hex #16 closes out 1986 with a cover that pulls no punches — a purple-clad armored villain looms over a pinned, red-bearded Jonah Hex, blade raised and ready while sneering the chilling taunt "Die, slave — like the dog you are!" Cover pencils by Denys Cowan with inks by Carlos Garzón give the struggle a raw, kinetic energy that perfectly suits the story's title, "The Slayer and the Slave!" Inside, Michael Fleisher writes with Keith Giffen on art and Carlos Garzón on inks, keeping this dystopian Western saga running at full tilt.
