Shaolin Cowboy Cruel To Be Kin

In order to keep a newborn Komodo dragon from joining the endangered species list, the Shaolin Cowboy must first make him an orphan and then adopt him into the ways of the “Intercepting fist” to keep their road trip from turning into roadkill. When social distancing isn’t enough, the Cowboy has plenty of booster shots and jabs to keep a new army of foes, both new and old, from turning the situation from ugly, to bad, and no good. “If Sergio Leone, Tsui Hark, Stephen Chow, and Sam Raimi could somehow have a child together and then disavow it, this book would be it...maybe.”—Geof Darrow •Colorist: Dave Stewart •Flatters: Mark Sweeney, Raunak Singh, Fred Paculba, and Josh Laird •Letterer: Nate Piekos •Editor: Daniel Chabon •Assistant Editors: Chuck Howitt and Jay Olinger •Receptionist: Teresa Gresham Collects Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to be Kin #1–#7.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then more than 205 pages of the stupendous and technicolor art of Dave Stewart and the dubious letterless box drawings of Geof Darrow must be worth at least…well…you do the math.

No valium nor Xanax can help you with this pulse-pounding tome. If you think you know the whole story you don’t! So light a match and crack open the window of your imagination and take a deep breath of the CRUEL TO BE KIN SILENT BUT DEADLY edition!!! Geof Said Non-Believe! Collects The Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to be Kin #1–#7 (without lettering).
