The Shaolin Cowboy

A hallucinatory, action-packed meditation on mortality and the American West, The Shaolin Cowboy (2020–present) is a four-issue series from Futuropolis that pits its titular, near-silent hero against a relentless army of the undead. The series is the singular vision of its writer and artist, whose dense, kinetic linework and minimalist storytelling turn every page into a brutal, beautiful dance of violence. It matters as a distilled, uncompromising showcase of a master artist operating at the peak of his formal powers, blending kung-fu cinema, spaghetti westerns, and existential horror into something entirely its own.
