Considered a cult classic (at least that's what it says on the back cover) from the artist who went on to write and draw the highly praised Why I Hate Saturn, The Cowboy Wally Show consists of four chapters. "The Cowboy Wally Legend" is our introduction to this overblown mockery of a film star; "Sands of Blood" and "The Making of Hamlet" are two crazy attempts at film; and "Cowboy Wally's Late Night Celebrity Showdown" is his final moment of television glory. This will appeal to fans of trashy television talk shows.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend....COWBOY WALLY!!,
By
This review is from: The Cowboy Wally Show (Paperback)
The Cowboy Wally Show presents the "Mockumentary" retrospective of the stellar career of TV "Legend" Cowboy Wally. The book unfolds like a real documentary- We get the "Candid Interview" first, followed by a rare screening of his French Foreign Legion epic "Sands of Blood", and, for the finale, a gut-busting screening, (as well as a behind-the-scenes glimpse), of the jail-house retelling of Hamlet, complete with a drag-queen Ophelia, and paper cut-outs filling in for actors. If you don't laugh at the prison scenes ("Hamlet......it's a nickname my mom calls me....") you must be dead. Kyle Baker is a genius!

Kyle Baker defines thexpanding frontier of the comics medium,
By KEVIN M. OCONNOR "Podcaster, Would-be Farmer,... (Centerton, AR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Cowboy Wally Show (Paperback)
While not as accessible as Why I Hate Saturn, The Cowboy Wally Show is wonderful in it's own way, but it's very subtle, and as Spead Seduction Guru, Ross Jefferies, says, "I don't have time for your pathetic subtlety." Actually, I have quite an appetite for subtlety in comics and The Cowboy Wally Show delivers. Cowboy Wally is a media sensation who is part Johnny Carson, part Ed Wood, and part Benny Hill. It took me a while to decide that I liked this book, but by the time Cowboy Wally recounted the story of shooting his version of Hamlet in a jail cell with just himself, his writer, their two thug cell mates and a box of props, I was hooked.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Cowboy Wally Show (Paperback)
This is a funny, funny, book. Cutting social satire at it's peak. I have yet to met anyone who did not think this book was fantastic. Film Producer: Basically, we love the work you guys do and we want another movie from you....We're giving you a buget of 10 million. the thing is, for tax reasons, we need this movie by he end of the fiscal year. Wally: Sure! When's that? Film Producer: Next Friday.
