Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Danish cartoonist Rikke Villadsen deconstructs the tired tropes of the Western genre with wild abandon. Villadsen's absurd vision of the old West features exploding prostitutes, menstruating cowgirls, mysterious gender-bending, and much more; when the dust settles, the rip-roaring ride that is Cowboy ultimately reveals itself to be an interrogation into gender identity and queerness. Giddyap!
"The good, the bad and the outre."--Page [4] of cover.
"An uproariously surreal take on the classic Western. In this wild west frontier town, nothing is quite what it seems. Painted ladies soar through the sky, townsfolk flicker and fade, and gender seems as fluid as oozing ink. At the heart of this surreal tale, a restless woman longs to break free from her confinement and ride off into the sunset. Both an homage to the classic Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and a fiercely feminist send-up of gruff masculinity, Cowboy is a Western unlike any other."--Publisher's website.
