Cotton Kid #4

The fourth album in this lively Franco-Belgian Western series takes young Cotton Kid onto La Piste de Chisholm — the legendary Chisholm Trail — with the cover delivering an immediately charming burst of action: a rearing horse, a determined cowboy cracking a whip, a wide-eyed kid hanging on for dear life, and a charging bull all tumbling across a vivid green background. Pearce and Léturgie keep their signature comedic energy front and center, with every character's exaggerated expression promising plenty of good-humored chaos ahead. Published by Vents d'Ouest in 2001, this is an entertaining chapter in a series that wears its love of the Wild West with a broad, knowing smile.
