Hex #4

Jonah Hex finds himself in a desperate situation on this December 1985 cover, ensnared alongside a young woman in a writhing mass of enormous, pale tentacles — promising exactly the kind of post-apocalyptic nightmare the tagline "Bloodsuckers in a World Gone Mad!" delivers. Mark Texeira and Klaus Janson make the most of the horrifying image, with Hex clutching his pistol while both figures are dragged helplessly into the churning coils. With a story titled "Worms" and this cover to set the stage, issue #4 of DC's far-future Western is shaping up to be a memorably unsettling chapter in Hex's strange odyssey.
