Jonah Hex #39

Rendered in moody sepia tones by Rafa Garres, this cover puts Jonah Hex front and center — scarred face, battered Confederate cavalry hat, and a revolver leveled straight at the reader with unsettling conviction. Below him, a cluster of rough, desperate-looking figures crowd the frame, their expressions ranging from menacing to outright ghoulish. Titled "Cowardice," this 2009 installment from writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti promises the kind of grim, morally complicated frontier tension that makes this series such a rewarding read.
