Tomahawk #2/1982
In "Den dödliga smittan," former Confederate captain Stanard Kirby, fresh from a bitter civil war, turns to bank robbery—only to vanish into obscurity, taking a low-profile job as a farmhand in Colorado. When a devastating grasshopper swarm threatens his meager earnings, Kirby’s quiet life is upended, leading to a fate that’s as inevitable as it is sudden. Written by Jerry DeFuccio and illustrated with gritty precision by John Severin, this 1982 Semic issue features a haunting cover by Bowen.
