This is Undertaker...

An elite soldier during the Civil War, Jonas Crow did not collect any medals, but rather a federal wanted notice for a series of crimes he allegedly committed under the name Lance Strikland. Having become a traveling undertaker, all he has left is his hearse, his vulture Jed, an unfailing cynicism... and his love for Rose Prairie. Because she thought she would put him in danger, she left him before their romance even began. Because his life has no meaning without her, Jonas sets out to find her and try his luck...

From the publisher:

Jonas Crow received a letter signed "R. Prairie."

"R", like Rose...

Convinced that the one with whom he had so many adventures wants to see him again, he goes to her home in Eaden, a small town in Texas.

Unfortunately, it is not she who wrote the missive but a rival, now married to Rose.

Jonas nevertheless agrees to take care of two funerals: a priest who died mysteriously and an unborn child that his mother does not wish to keep. If the first should not pose a problem, the second may be more complicated. Indeed, the famous "Sister Oz", a fanatical representative of the League for the Suppression of Vice, has arrived in town.

In this seventh installment of the Undertaker saga, the most famous undertaker in comics is confronted with a religious extremism from another time... But which has never seemed so current.

Resume:

Jonas Crow a reçu une lettre signée « R. Prairie ».

« R », comme Rose...

Persuadé que celle avec laquelle il a vécu tant d'aventures souhaite le revoir et partage ses sentiments, il se présente à son domicile d'Eaden, une petite ville du Texas.

Malheureusement, ce n'est pas elle qui est l'auteure de la missive mais un rival, lui aussi amoureux de Rose, et avec lequel Jonas aura fort à faire.

Il s'engage néanmoins à s'occuper de deux enterrements : un prêtre mort mystérieusement et un enfant à naître que sa mère, pourtant très pieuse, ne souhaite pas garder. Si le premier ne devrait pas poser de problème, le second risque d'être plus compliqué. En effet, la célèbre « Sister Oz », représentante fanatique de la Ligue pour la suppression du vice, est arrivée en ville.

Soufflant sur les braises de la colère et de la rancoeur née de la défaite face aux « Yankees », elle soulève la population afin d'empêcher l'avortement...

Dans ce septième volet de la saga d'Undertaker, le croque-mort le plus célèbre de la bande dessinée est confronté à un extrémisme religieux d'un autre temps... Mais qui n'a jamais semblé aussi actuel.
