“Canvas Battlefield!”

In "Canvas Battlefield!", set during the harsh winter of 1778 at Valley Forge, the already strained morale of Washington’s troops reaches a breaking point when Summer Soldier, a member of Tomahawk’s Rangers, is executed for desertion. When Tomahawk protests, he’s punished with twelve lashes in front of his comrades, only to be arrested later for allegedly attempting to assassinate General Washington—just as his unit is ambushed by renegade Indians secretly aiding British Lord Shilling. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with striking detail by José Delbo, inks by Pablo Marcos, and a powerful cover by Joe Kubert, this issue deepens the mystery of loyalty and betrayal in a war where truth is as scarce as food.

During the winter of 1778 Washington's troops are fighting to survive at Valley Forge, and Summer Soldier, one of Tomahawk's Rangers, is unjustly executed for desertion. When Tomahawk objects, he is sentenced to suffer twelve lashes as the Rangers watch in disbelief. Later they are sent out to forage for food and are attacked by renegade Indians who are secretly working with the British Lord Shilling. Upon returning to camp, Tomahawk is inexplicably arrested for attempting to assassinate General Washington.
