"To Say that Geof Darrow is unique is a bit of an understatement. I Think he's just plain brilliant."
--Mike Mignola 
"Trying to describe Geof Darrow's work to someone unfamiliar with it is a little like trying to describe a waterfall to someone who's never seen water. It's tranquil above the falls, a thrill ride down the slope, and explosively lethal at the bottom of the cataract. As with everything he does, Geof's Shaolin Cowboy takes place in a universe all its own that the rest of us are just damn lucky to visit whenever Geof gives us a peek. If you 've ever seen his work, that's what I'm talking about. And if you haven't, now's your chance to take that ride. Don't miss it."
--Walter Simonson 
"Geof Darrow is a master. . .His combination of technical ability and a genuinely individual voice is an inspiration for me and for generations of other artists across the world."
--Frank Quitely 
"Geof Darrow's Shaolin Cowboy is very intriguing in its use of diverse elements in an electric mix creating highly surreal effects. This mix of apparently opposing bits starts right with the title. I was reminded of similar themes celebrated in Metal Hurlant's classic early period of the '80s. Darrow's closely sliced action breakdowns analyze time fragments in detail just as the Cowboy slices into the zombie horde."
--Richard Corben 
"'In a highly illustrious career, this is Geof Darrow at his very best. No one comes even close to his superb storytelling and incredible art!' That is what Geof told me. I hope Dark Horse sends me a copy so I can see it is true."
--Stan Sakai


The Saga of one man's fight against The Walking Dead as you've never seen it before!

The action never lets up as a chainsaw of events pits the comic world's favorite Shaolin Cowboy against a legion of gourmets from the fourth level of hell, intent on turning America's finest youth into an endless Shemp buffet.

Strap on your six-guns, gas up your chainsaw, and hang on, 'cuz you aren't in Downton Abbey anymore.


"Geof Darrow is without a doubt one of the best creators in our field, meticulous, a superb craftsman, and in Shaolin Cowboy Geof becomes a master choreographer, making the battle scenes a vivid and nightmarish vision of Dante's Inferno."
--Sergio Aragones 
"A profound sense of the absurd encapsulated in elegant line. Darrow has crafted high-definition realities since before hi-def was even a thing."
--Duncan Fegredo 
"Geof Darrow is the only guy I know who can draw an epic naked-zombie slaughter and and still make me feel all warm inside."
--Kevin Nowlan 
"A widescreen world of madness and brutality; a uniquely bonkers vision done masterfully. Truly magnificent!"
--Adi Granov 
"The structure, the staging and the storytelling are all atrocious... This feels like simple, hollow artistic masturbation in four colors, stapled with a barcode for the suckers to lose three fifty on."
--The Comic Pusher    
"It's the comic book equivalent of 'Threw It on the Ground.'"  
--Front Towards Gamer
