Private Investigator Jan Westron has been roped in to help with the disappearance of a young girl. Haunted by a similar case from his teenage years, Westron is racing against time to avoid the tragedy that occurred when he was 15.

Things take a seriously dark and disturbing turn in this second issue of Westron, following on from last year’s opening chapter. In fairness, issue #1 wasn’t exactly all sunshine and roses, but things really do get pretty grim here, particularly as we accelerate towards the climax, with grim and graphic revelations building to the cliffhanger.

The variations in art style from the first issue, which occur when the story switches between Westron’s past and present, are also employed here. They’re very effective too; the muted, naturalistic style of the present giving way to the heightened, luridly coloured and more caricatured style of the flashbacks.

Though densely written, the story is very gripping, making good use of its Euro-noir style and Polish folklore. However, without venturing into spoiler territory, but the darker subject matter, particularly the more realistic elements, may be a little distasteful and disturbing for readers of a more sensitive disposition. So do be warned: Westron is not a comic for the faint of heart.

Westron #2’s Kickstarter campaign is launching on June 1st, 2026, and you’ll be able to pledge for issue 1 as well as getting your hands on the second issue. You can sign up to be notified of the campaign’s launch here.
