Shaolin Cowboy
Shaolin Cowboy (published 2004 to present) is a comic book created and drawn by artist Geof Darrow. The book is published bimonthly by Burlyman Entertainment.
The book is about an unnamed former Shaolin monk who wanders the land with a talking mule named Lord Evelyn Dunkirk Winniferd Esq. the Third. Having been "asked" to leave the Shaolin temple, he has since had a bounty placed on his head, which many are eager to collect upon. But, given the Shaolin Cowboy's prowess in martial arts, this will make it very difficult.
Taking place in an unspecified time setting (as the first issue notes, "the day after yesterday and a week before tommorow"), the book features extremely detailed artwork and violent action scenes.
Awards and Nominations
Shaolin Cowboy was nominated for three Eisner Awards for Best New Series, best penciller/inker, and best colorist.
