DUST TO DUST

Yellowstone meets Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian in this tale of a tormented Oklahoma sheriff and a scrappy photojournalist on the hunt for a serial killer at the height of the dust-choked Great Depression. In the darkest days of the Great Depression, death rides the dust. As apocalyptic storms swallow the Oklahoma panhandle, the broken town of New Hope is gripped by a series of brutal murders. Sheriff Meadows, tormented by his past, joins forces with Sarah, a relentless photojournalist, to hunt a killer who moves like a ghost through the storm—leaving only bodies in his wake. From comics legend JG Jones (Wanted) and co-writer Phil Bram comes a haunting, hand-painted tale of survival, grief, and the violence that thrives when the world begins to rot. Collects issues #1-8.
