Southern Tribe

In the mid-1990s, Craig Petersen wrote and drew this four-issue series for a small press, a stark, character-driven story set in a near-future where a fractured America is divided into isolated tribal territories. Following a lone wanderer navigating the lawless, resource-scarce landscape of the Southern Tribe, the book is a gritty, personal take on post-apocalyptic survival. Petersen's raw, expressive art and lean storytelling give the series a distinct, underground feel, marking it as a cult artifact of the era's indie comics scene.
