Tomahawk #8/1982

In "Bödelskvinnan," Jonah Hex takes on a grim assignment from Judge Hatchet to capture a ruthless outlaw terrorizing the region—only to uncover that the judge herself is far more dangerous than the criminal she claims to hunt. Written by John Albano and illustrated with stark, atmospheric detail by Tony DeZuniga, this 1982 Semic edition delivers a morally murky Western where justice is as corrupt as the lawlessness it’s meant to fight. The cover, also by DeZuniga, captures the story’s grim tone with its haunting, shadowed imagery.
