3:10 to Yuma meets the Texas Chainsaw Massacre as a meek small-town sheriff relocates a family of vicious cannibals to continue the westward expansion of the railroad.

The Spine of the Land is a graphic novel about the grueling construction of the mid-Atlantic railroad in 1887 Louisiana. The railroad has been delayed due to a group of feral cannibals attacking the workforce. The charismatic Governor, Murphy J. Foster, will use any means necessary to continue his dominion. Capturing one of the feral folk, the Governor hires a meek sheriff to escort the brute back to his people and pay them to leave their homeland.

What follows is a tale of brutality, crime, and human tenacity.
