Cow Boy HCThe kind folks at Archaia Entertainment have supplied ComicList with their solicitations for comics and other products featured in the January 2012 Previews, scheduled to ship starting March 2012.

Cow Boy

Writer: Nate Cosby
Artist: Chris Eliopoulos

From Nate Cosby (Pigs, Jim Henson's The Storyteller) and Chris Eliopoulos (Franklin Richards, Misery Loves Sherman) comes the tale of a young bounty hunter determined to send his entire outlaw family to jail. He travels the Old West on a horse that ain't his, and he won't stop 'til every one'a his kin's in the clink. Also in this volume are short stories by Roger Langridge (The Muppet Show Comic), Brian Clevinger & Scott Wegener (Atomic Robo), Mike Maihack (Cleopatra in Space), and Colleen Coover (Jim Henson's The Storyteller).

Cow Boy is a story with broad appeal: adult readers will enjoy the gritty, sophisticated storytelling, while children will embrace Eliopoulos's open, cartoony style.

"One person's garbage is another's story."

Siegfried

Writer/Artist: Alex Alice

A three-part story inspired by Wagner's classic opera The Ring of the Nibelung. Siegfried, child of a mortal man and a Valkyrie, is a young orphan being raised by Mime, one of the last of the dwarf-goblin Nibelungs. While his foster parent only wants to live in peace and solitude, Siegfried yearns to discover who his real parents were and live amongst his own kind. What Siegfried doesn't know is that Odin, father of the Norse gods, has already determined the boy's destiny: Siegfried is to fight the dragon Fafnir, guardian of the Rheingold.
