As VULTURE says, &#8220;no one draws violence quite like Geof Darrow.\u201d \u00a0This summer Dark Horse Books will boldly go where they have never gone before when they publish Geof Darrow\u2019s SHAOLIN COWBOY: START TREK and bring a classic, hard-to-find masterpiece back into print. Originally published as a seven issue comic book series by Burlyman Entertainment, the story garnered Darrow the Eisner Award in 2006 for Best Writer\/ Artist. The Dark Horse Books edition marks the story\u2019s first ever hardcover publication and features a new cover by Darrow and award-winning colorist Dave Stewart and the complete seven-issue saga written and illustrated by Darrow and colored by Pete Doherty, Alex Wald, and Lovern Kindzierski, as well as classic Shaolin Cowboy illustrations by Moebius (Jean Giraud), Richard Delgado, Mike Mignola, Kevin Nowlan and John Severin.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;My friend Geof Darrow is a comics visionary,\u201d said Dark Horse Comics Publisher Mike Richardson. \u201cHe is truly an independent spirit with an outrageous sense of humor and an unparalleled level of craftsmanship.
