The Shaolin Cowboy Adventure Magazine is a great read. The main story is written by Andrew Vachss who is known for his ususally very serious writings. Here he delves into the humor that does occasionally pop up in his regular novels and short stories. It is interesting to see Vachss focus on the humor while telling the story and not the message behind the writings.
Along with the almost always silent killing machine asian cowboy is his trusty sidekick, the Mule. A mule who likes to drink beer and take Viagra. The mule silently thinks some of the most amusing lines that people do not get to hear but fortunately the reader does. An encounter with a young girl gets to bring in some additional character development and humor. Also the always watching radioactive King Crab (yes really) has some great insights as to all the things going on.
There is a second shorter story written by Michael Black that is very good as well.
I found this book to be a fun read, its filled with a combo of Vachss humor as well as his gritty, dark side as well. The illustrations by Darrow are excellent and the one page 'ads' are great.
As a fan of Vachss this was a great way to experience a lighter side of his writing skills.
Highly recommended.
