Eric Powell’s ‘Hillbilly’ Continues With ‘The Treason Of Twelve-Toe Maggie’

Eric Powell is one of the most reliable creators out there thanks to The Goon, Dr. Werthless and much more. But did you know he also has a series called Hillbilly? Well, he does, and it’s continuing at Dark Horse with Hillbilly: The Treason of Twelve-Toe Maggie.

In what the publisher calls a “perfect jumping on point,” the book — written and drawn by Powell — follows a wandering hillbilly “years after the Great Witch War.” In this book, Rondel (the aforementioned hillbilly) finds himself having to work for Maggie, the witch with twelve toes.

Hillbilly: The Treason of Twelve-Toe Maggie #1 (of 3) will come with a variant cover by Becky Cloonan, and hit stores on September 30, 2026. Check out the main cover and synopsis below.

There are many tales of Rondel the wandering Hillbilly; this is but one. Some years after the great witch war, Rondel, in order to save an old friend, finds himself in an uncomfortable situation—in the service of his former captor, Twelve-Toe Maggie. Will he break the magical tie that binds him to the twelve-toed witch, or will the wielder of the Devil’s Cleaver be at her service forever?
