Sheriff “Big Bert” Tubb once cleaned up Craw County, Alabama
with an iron jaw and a big ol’ stick. But that was 40 years ago. When his
son, Earl Tubb, returns home to settle some family business, he finds his
daddy’s grave unkempt, the stick he was buried with grown into a gnarled
old tree, and Craw County in worse shape than ever. Then that tree gets struck
by lightning. And suddenly Earl has a stick of his own. And some questions
he’d like answered.
The hit new crime series, Southern Bastards, returns for its second
volume, as Jason Aaron (Scalped, Thor, Star Wars) and Jason
Latour (Wolverine & the X-Men, Loose Ends) pull back the
curtain on the dark and seedy history of Craw County and its most famous and
feared resident, the high school football coach turned backwoods crime lord,
Euless Boss. In a place where only bastards flourish, what does it take to be
the biggest, meanest, most powerful bastard of them all? Only Coach Boss knows.
But if I was you, I wouldn't ask him.
Collects Southern Bastards #5-8.
