PREVIEW- The Shaolin Cowboy Adventure Magazine #1

Geoff Darrow's genre-bending action comic Shaolin Cowboy is back as a pulp magazine written by Andrew Vachss and illustrated by Darrow.

Here's the Sales pitch:
Best selling author Andrew Vachss teams with award-wining artist Geof Darrow to revive the spirit and format of the pulp novels of the 30s and 40s. The Shaolin Cowboy Adventure Magazine is the first new hero-pulp to be printed in decades and combines hard-hitting prose with illustrated mayhem. The Shaolin Cowboy: The Way of ‘No Way!’ is a kung fu gripping tale of high adventure and relentless bloodshed. The Shaolin Cowboy and his trusty mule battle overwhelming odds and inclement weather against enemies thirsting for revenge and retribution in the battle royal to end all battle royals.



This is a novel approach to keeping a good character in circulation without compromising the labor-intense artwork that is Darrow's calling card. I wonder what his fans' response to this will be when this drops October 24th... If you're a fan (who isn't?!?!) let me know your thoughts...
