2014, pages 21-25, Heavy Metal #270

The fist scene seems as if it could be of a U.S. special operations soldier gone native in Afghanistan. He is gritty, determined and angry at Fate for marooning him in this ‘virgin world’ with weaklings who failed to survive as he forged on. It is apparent by the last of the five panels on the first page of this comic that the nameless protagonist is a survivor of a wrecked spacecraft, tracking the wreckage of a huge craft that broke up slowly along a degrading flight path over a desert world.

He is tracking the wreckage of this civilian space craft across half the planet with a large pipe as his weapon against the alien life forms. When, after many years, the protagonist finally locates another resourceful survivor with a cache of functional equipment, he is identified as Lieutenant Gorham, and his mission becomes horribly clear. By the end of the last page of this colorfully bleak comic, Brandon Barrows makes it graphically apparent to the reader that Surefire Means is a metaphor for the plight of Postmodern Man.

If Andy Nowicki were a comic author/artist I would expect exactly this.
