Ancient Joe

A haunting, poetic three-issue miniseries from Dark Horse, Ancient Joe is the singular vision of writer-artist C. Scott Morse. It follows a mysterious, immortal wanderer through a stark, mythic American landscape, blending supernatural folklore with a deeply personal, melancholic tone. Morse’s evocative, painted artwork and sparse storytelling create a quiet, atmospheric meditation on memory, loss, and the weight of centuries. Though brief, the series stands as a distinctive, artful gem in early-2000s independent comics.
