Jonah Hex #35

This November 2008 issue of DC's premier Western series presents a hauntingly beautiful cover by J. H. Williams III — rendered in warm sepia tones, it fills the frame with Jonah Hex's scarred, weathered face looming large beneath his battered hat, a coiled rattlesnake draped above him, while a glamorous woman and a shadowy gunman lurk in the background. The title "A Crude Offer" hints at the morally complicated frontier dealings that writers Justin Gray and Palmiotti have made their signature on this series. With Williams III handling both interior art and the cover, this is a visually cohesive package that showcases some of the finest talent working in genre comics in 2008.
