Jonah Hex

From 1985 to 1986, Semic published a 25-issue run of Jonah Hex, a gritty Western series anchored by the scarred, morally ambiguous bounty hunter of the same name. Writers Michael Fleisher, Bengt Sahlberg, and Hojen, alongside artists Dick Ayers, Tony DeZuniga, and Luis Dominguez, brought a raw, supernatural edge to the frontier, weaving in recurring figures like the ghostly El Diablo, the shaman Lazarus Lane, and the enigmatic Durango Kid. This run matters as a distinctive European take on the classic American antihero, blending traditional Western vengeance with eerie folklore and a cast of outcasts that deepened Hex’s brutal world.
