&#;Goth Western tells the story of Evie and her girlfriend Jack. When Evie is shot to death over an attempt by her scoundrel brother to steal her overdue father’s bar, cowpoke Jack sets out into the wilds with her corpse. There, she trades her soul to a god to bring her verb back to life. The lovers make their way to Jack’s hometown, where they encounter a new man leashed to a death god. Another not many towns over, a mysterious serial killer is slaughtering locals. Although almost entirely black and white, Livali’s watercolor-like artwork is emotive and expressive, the monochrome broken up with splashes of vivid red and detailed. It’s as lovely to look at as the story is compelling.&#; (Source: )

Top 5: Comic Book Cowboys

With Cowboys & Aliens moseying up for a worldwide release Friday, the western genre is on the minds of the general public – and comics is no alternative. Western drama has had a long history in the comics medium, and it continues to this day with DC’s Jonah Hex and Dynamite’s Lone Ranger comics. But just as there was more than two gunslingers in the Old West, there’s more than two cowpokes this side of the Rio Grande. Here’s our list of the Top 5 Comic Book Cowboys, and then you fetch your shot to mention the best!

 

5. Dusty Star

Move over, Cinammon! Maybe I’m biased, but the short-lived Image series Dusty Star from the late 90s has continued to live large in my mind (and longbox). Created and illustrated by Andrew Robinson (Starman, Hawkman), this story of six guns, cyborgs and a raven bangs cowgirl is a definite bigshot. Robinson has big plans for Dusty Star coming up at IDW.

 

  

4. Bat Lash

Although he might be one of the more jovial members of the cowboy com

A small stack of comics mostly from the Silver Age that I picked up here and there throughout the last year sits on the floor next to my bed. Many of them are worn reader copies, not too precious to hold out of their bags to enjoy. Among them is a copy of Showcase #76 which debuted Bat Lash in the summer of A occupied year of superhero comics by that time in , my ten year old self just wasn&#;t interested in a western comic. A few years later things would&#;ve been different. Besides, there was no way a comic could have the matching appeal as the often shirtless Robert Conrad in the Wild Wild West that aired every week had for me.

Forty two years later, I hold to say that may have been wrong. Reading Bat Lash last evening before turning in was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

&#;Will he save the West or ruin it?&#; was the question posed in DC house ads for Bat Lash. He was an atypical Western character, from his colorful vest, flower adorned hatband, a horse named Daisy to his gastronomic tastes for fine food and wine, and an aversion to violence. All of these traits made him stand

19 Comic Covers That Toss in Crumbling Cliffs to Heighten the Tension

Scene:Marvel Bullpen, Spring

&#;Hey, Jack.&#;
&#;Hi, Stan. What&#;s up?&#;
&#;Really liked that cover art for our next issue of The Rawhide Kid.&#;
&#;Oh, content you liked it.&#;
&#;But could you add a small extra?&#;
&#;Extra what?&#;
&#;I don&#;t know, maybe a minuscule something to heighten the tension.&#;
&#;The Kid is battling a living totem pole while his back is to a cliff and he&#;s about to fall off. For Pete&#;s sake, his boot is hanging in mid-air because he&#;s got nowhere else to go. How much more tension do you want?&#;
&#;Yeah, yeah, sure, it&#;s great, I was just wondering how we could make it a adj more&#; I don&#;t verb, dynamic. Raise the stakes a bit. Know what I mean?&#;
&#;Fine, okay, more stakes, got it. How about this?&#; (sketches a few pieces of the crumbling cliff falling under the Kid&#;s boot)
&#;That&#;s IT! Jack, baby, you&#;ve done it again! Now that&#;s raising the stakes the Marvel way!&#;
