COWBOY
Εκδότης Fantagraphics , ISBN 9781683962793
An uproariously surreal take on the classic Western.
The place: a typical nineteenth century Western town. The time: when
men were men - and women didn't have much to do aside from gazing
longingly out the window. One day, without warning, a rugged outlaw rides
into town, swinging his six-guns and stirring up trouble. Meanwhile, an idle
young woman gets the notion to outfit herself as a cowboy and make her
getaway. Cowboy has all the makings of a classic, if wickedly unconventional,
Wild West yarn.
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 a heady interrogation into gender
identity and queerness. Giddyap!
