Southern Bastards, Book One

by Jason Aaron, Jason Latour (Artist)

Overview

The seminal southern-fried crime series, Southern Bastards by Jason Aaron (Scalped, Star Wars) and Jason Latour (Spider-Gwen, Loose Ends) gets an oversized hardcover, collecting the first two arcs "Here Was a Man" and "Gridiron".

Welcome to Craw County, Alabama, home of Boss BBQ, the state champion Runnin' Rebs football team, and more bastards than you've ever seen; Bastards like Earl Tubb, an angry old man with a very big stick, and Euless Boss, a high school football coach with no more room in his office for trophies and no more room underneath the bleachers for burying bodies.

When Earl comes home after 40 years, he finds some family business that still needs settlin' and Coach Boss is at the center of it all. But that's okay. That's what the big stick is for, after all.

Collects Southern Bastards #1-8
