Paklis #6

Dustin Weaver's Paklis #6 brings its signature blend of science fiction and pulp adventure to a sun-baked frontier setting, with this striking cover showing a lone gunslinger in a colorful, futuristic suit striding down a dusty Western street while a crowd of armed and watchful townsfolk — including a tall figure in a top hat and pinstripes — lines both sides. The cover promises two distinct stories inside: "They'll Bury You Where You Stand!" and "1949, Part 2," hinting at the anthology scope that makes this Image series such an intriguing read. At $5.99, this 2023 issue offers a generous helping of Weaver's meticulously detailed linework and genre-bending imagination.
