Best Shot in the West #[nn]

A bold, cinematic cover by Randy DuBurke sets the tone for this 2012 Chronicle Books graphic biography — a determined rider on horseback commands the foreground, hat pulled low, silhouetted against a dramatic split backdrop of desert dust and a deep midnight sky with a glowing blue moon. The Adventures of Nat Love come to life through DuBurke's striking monochromatic linework, which carries the gritty atmosphere of the frontier with quiet confidence. At $19.99, it's an inviting package for readers drawn to the American West through the lens of graphic storytelling.
