Jonah Hex #9 - Bernie Wrightson cover

Bernie Wrightson

Jonah Hex v1 #9, 1978 - Bernie Wrightson tries his hand at the western genre with this early Jonah Hex cover. The bandit El Papagayo looks on while the hero suffers a slow death from hungry ants. Devoid of background details, the illustration emphasizes the various figures starting with the title character. Note how the artist places gunmen at various distances to increase the sense of depth. The scene is unusually bright and saturated for Wrightson, but works better than I expected. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Jose Luis Garcia Lopez. This is 1 of 1 Jonah Hex issues by Wrightson. /// Wrightson gallery
