Hex

Over ten issues from 1986 to 1987, Arédit-Artima’s Hex reimagines the DC Western antihero Jonah Hex, transplanted from the Old West into a post-apocalyptic future. Writer Michael Fleisher, alongside artists Mark Texeira and Ron Wagner, crafts a gritty, sword-and-sorcery-infused saga where Hex’s gunslinging skills clash with mutants and warlords. This short-lived but visually striking series is a bold, offbeat chapter in DC’s publishing history, notable for its unexpected genre shift and Texeira’s moody painted covers.
