Hillbilly #3

Eric Powell's Hillbilly continues its brooding Appalachian folklore with this third volume from Delcourt. The cover puts the series' rugged, wild-bearded wanderer front and center — axe in one hand, a curious horn or pipe in the other, armored in rough hide and bristling with blades as a cornfield stretches ominously behind him. It's a striking image that captures the series' blend of backwoods grit and dark fairy-tale atmosphere perfectly.
