Cowkid

Andreas Nilsson’s Cowkid (1982–present) is a single-issue comic that launched a uniquely spare, long-running series. Published in 1982, it introduces a laconic boy in a Western landscape, with Nilsson’s lean storytelling and art defining its quiet, enduring appeal. Though only one issue exists, the series has held a cult presence for decades, its lone chapter a testament to how much a single, well-crafted comic can resonate.
