About this Collection

This first volume of Southern Bastards collects the opening arc of Jason Aaron and Jason Latour's gritty crime series set in the small Alabama town of Craw County. When retired coach Euless Boss runs the local high school football program with an iron fist, returning native Earl Tubb finds himself caught in a violent collision between tradition and justice. The book includes issues #1-4 of the 2014 Image series.

"Chapter 1" of Southern Bastards introduces Earl Tubb, a man returning to his hometown of Craw County to clear out his family’s house after his uncle is sent to a nursing home. Tensions simmer in the rural South as Earl quickly finds himself at odds with the region’s entrenched crime boss, setting the stage for a simmering conflict rooted in power, loyalty, and the weight of the past. Written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Jason Latour, with colors by Jason Latour and Rico Renzi, and letters by Jared K. Fletcher, the issue’s stark, grounded storytelling is matched by Latour’s evocative cover art.
