Jonah Hex #29

Jonah Hex strides out of a burnt-orange desert badlands, both revolvers leveled straight at the reader — and a large scorpion lurks ominously at his feet, hinting at the dangers waiting in "Return to Devil's Paw." Rafael Garrés renders the scarred bounty hunter in moody sepia tones, with jagged rock formations silhouetted against a pale sun behind him. Written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, this 2008 issue captures everything that makes the series so compelling: a lone, hard-bitten gunfighter and a landscape that feels as deadly as anything chasing him.
