Carmen Red Claw: Belly of the Beast #2
Description
Cattle maul disappearances and headless cowboys push Carmen to push further into the curse haunting the ranchlands of 1870s New Mexico. In Carmen Red Claw: Belly of the Beast #2, Rae Allen writes and pencils a paranormal western that blends mystery, folklore, and sharp frontier action. Set within the Hellboy universe, this four-issue arc follows Carmen as she wrestles with stubborn superstition, hidden loyalties, and a growing trail of supernatural evidence that defies easy explanations. Allen's expressive linework and storytelling—paired with a strong, plucky heroine—bring a fresh voice to the series while paying homage to classic Westerns and occult adventure. The issue features interchangeable covers by Allen and Jake Parker, underscoring its dynamic dual-focus on character and myth. A compact, self-contained tale that fans of horror, fantasy, and Westerns will devour.
