Sheriff Classics #9259

In "Appels," the reclusive figure known to villagers as Viking Cowboy isn’t looking for trouble—but when a woman is in danger, he can’t stay away. Written by Ramon Schenk and brought to life by Waldo Van Gheluwe, whose art, inks, and lettering define the issue’s distinctive look, this 2014 Windmill Comics tale finds quiet defiance in unexpected action. The cover by Waldo Van Gheluwe captures the story’s mood with a striking, grounded image that hints at the tension beneath the surface.
