Southern Bastards #1

"Here Was a Man" kicks off Jason Aaron and Jason Latour’s gritty Southern Bastards with Earl Tubb returning to Craw County to clear out his uncle’s house after the man is sent to a nursing home. Tensions simmer in the rural South as Earl’s quiet task quickly collides with the region’s entrenched power, setting the stage for something far darker. The story’s raw atmosphere and sharp character work are brought to life by Latour’s distinctive art and Renzi’s moody colors, all anchored by a cover by Latour that captures the weight of the town’s secrets.
