Jonah Hex #8
In "Prêtre par interim," Jonah Hex #8 (1987) delivers a quiet yet gripping moment in the dusty frontier, where Sheriff Walt grapples with his legacy as the so-called "gunfighter" while a reluctant boy steps into the role during a tense showdown with the Flat Hat Gang. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated with stark precision by Carmine Infantino, the story finds Walt questioning his identity—until a shy contest winner finds courage in the face of danger. The cover by Luis Dominguez captures the moment’s weight with a stark, expressive portrait of Walt’s doubt and resolve.
In "Les secrets du sergent chamane," Jonah Hex and his fellow Rangers find an unexpected ally in Little Cloud, a young warrior driven by a personal quest for justice and determined to protect his people from betrayal. Drawn into their mission, his deep connection to his heritage earns him the nickname "Sergeant Witch Doctor," a title that unsettles their enemies with its mystery and power.
In "Le shérif-surprise de Rocky City," Sheriff Walt grapples with the truth about his brother Wayne’s real reputation as the town’s true gunfighter—especially when Wayne casually intercepts Walt’s botched prisoner capture while fishing. With the Boy Sheriff Contest looming, the unexpected winner claims he’s unfit for the role, prompting Walt to take him on patrol. When the Flat Hat Gang appears, Walt is wounded, but the boy finds courage, disarms the outlaws, and steps into the role with quiet resolve. "Still thinking of resigning, Walt?" "Who, me?"
