Jonah Hex: Lead Poisoning

In this grim 2009 one-shot from DC, writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray reunite with artist Jordi Bernet for a standalone Jonah Hex story that leans hard into the character's Western-noir roots. The creative team, celebrated for their long, acclaimed run on the series, delivers a taut, self-contained tale of vengeance and moral decay on the frontier. Lead Poisoning matters as a potent showcase of Bernet's moody, expressionistic art and the writers' unflinching take on the scarred bounty hunter.
