The Shaolin Cowboy #1

Against a warm desert sunset, Geof Darrow's cover for this 2015 Dark Horse volume presents the Shaolin Cowboy balancing on a tightrope-thin staff above a surging horde of monstrous figures, birds scattered across the fading sky above him. Dave Stewart's colors bathe the rocky landscape in dusty amber and rose, giving the scene an almost tranquil beauty that contrasts sharply with the chaos erupting beneath the lone warrior's feet. Shaolin Cowboy: Shemp Buffet collects the series with the kind of jaw-dropping, densely detailed artwork that makes you want to linger on every panel.
