Jonah Hex: Two-Gun Mojo #4

The penultimate chapter of this 1993 DC/Vertigo miniseries arrives with a cover by Tim Truman that pulls no punches: a battered, blood-spattered Jonah Hex stands his ground, revolver in one hand and saber in the other, his hollow eyes radiating grim determination. Looming behind him is a ghoulish, goggle-wearing figure with a predatory grin — a specter of menace that makes clear Hex is facing something far darker than an ordinary Western showdown. With Joe R. Lansdale writing and Sam Glanzman on inks, Two-Gun Mojo remains one of 1993's most unsettling takes on the frontier, and issue four looks to raise the stakes all over again.
