Vill Vest #3/1981

In "Lako," Miki stumbles upon two bandits holding Tom captive—only to be felled by a stray bullet and left for dead. As the bandits prepare to bury him, Tom is thrown into the river and narrowly escapes, setting off a tense chain of events. Written and illustrated by EsseGesse, this 1981 Norwegian comic from Serieforlaget delivers a gripping, grounded adventure with a stark, hand-drawn aesthetic, all captured in a cover by EsseGesse that mirrors the story’s raw, urgent tone.
