Hillbilly #1

Eric Powell's Hillbilly arrives in French through Delcourt with a cover that sets the tone immediately — a grizzled, axe-wielding figure in a fur cloak and top hat stands atop a rocky outcrop, with the looming specter of a great bear rising behind him. It's a striking image that blends Appalachian folklore with dark fantasy, promising something genuinely unlike anything else on the shelves in 2018. If you're drawn to grim, atmospheric storytelling rooted in backwoods myth, this first volume is a compelling place to start.
