Résumé: The first volume in this magnificent series by the indy-comics pioneer continues the adventures of a different kind of pioneer, Wolverine McAlistaire. Set back in the days when Michigan was the Western frontier and America was a vast and unknown continent, this realistic and absorbing account of life in the 19th century wilderness finds McAlistaire enduring tornadoes, Indians, and even the walking dead ― all delineated in Messner-Loebs' unique neo-Eisnerian style.
