Marshal Bass #9

The ninth chapter of Darko Macan and Igor Kordey's gritty Western series arrives with a cover that sets a brooding, violent tone: a bare-chested, long-haired man swings what appears to be a dismembered limb against a dusky purple desert sky, while a cowboy hat and saddle lie discarded in the foreground. Kordey's painterly cover work bathes the scene in moody twilight hues that give the image a raw, almost mythic quality. "Texas Rangers" promises the kind of brutal frontier atmosphere that has made Marshal Bass one of Delcourt's most compelling Western offerings.
