☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Web of Evil" #1 (1993, Fantagraphics) kicks off with a moody, deliberate pulse as Coley arrives in Palmettoville, already under scrutiny from Chief Beasley. Written and illustrated entirely by John Blackburn, the issue unfolds with a tight, atmospheric grip—Coley’s search for a "gang of killers" threads through a town full of uneasy alliances, secret desires, and simmering tensions. From Carolina’s instant fascination to Samantha Bishop’s invitation and the cryptic warnings from Miz Liza, every encounter hints at deeper layers beneath the surface, all anchored by Blackburn’s distinctive art and storytelling. The cover, also by Blackburn, captures the story’s brooding tone in stark, expressive lines.
In the humid shadows of the Southern swamps, a young man’s life ends in violence at the hands of the merciless Billy Rivers. Meanwhile, at the Palmetto House hotel, manager Carolina Brown listens to fortune teller Miz Liza’s eerie warning—a Mojo is among them, stirring dark forces beneath the surface.
In the dusty, simmering heat of Palmettoville, a stranger named Coley strolls in with secrets in his eyes and a past he won’t speak of. As the town’s uneasy pulse quickens, Coley finds himself caught between the dangerous allure of Carolina Brown, the sharp warnings of Chief Beasley, and the mysterious pull of Samantha Bishop’s mansion—each encounter drawing him deeper into a web of desire and dread. With Joey Ortega gone and a killer still at large, Coley must decide who to trust before the next shadow falls.
