Wolverine MacAlistaire by William Messner-Loebs

...killed himself a Bar when he was only three; Davy, Davy Crockett, Ki... Oops, wrong story...

Journey recounts the adventures of Joshua Wolverine MacAlistaire. And like Natty Bumppo before him, he comes from the grand line of fictional 19th-century American frontiersmen. Journey debuted as a back-up feature in Cerebus but soon graduated to a solo title published by Aardvark-Vanaheim in March 0f 1983. From the very first issue, creator Messner-Loebs shows us the disparity of life on the frontier, facing down a bear one moment and dealing with some trappers the next. The storytelling and art was stunning and greatly benefitted from the stark black and white images.
