Tomahawk #5/1983

In "Dödens tull," Jonah Hex stumbles upon a grim toll station deep in a swamp, where the only road through the marsh is controlled by the suspicious Silas Barfrey. As Hex digs deeper, he uncovers a dangerous alliance between Barfrey and a corrupt army colonel, their secrets buried beneath the mire. Written by Michael Fleisher and Russel Carley, with art by Noly Panaligan, and a cover by Luis Dominguez, this 1983 Semic issue blends Southern Gothic dread with the stark realism of the Western genre.
