Geof Darrow scores with The Shaolin Cowboy: Who'll Stop the Reign

If you are not familiar with Geof's work be prepared. It is filled with detail--really.
It is for mature audiences (graphic imagery).

This is probably his best Shaolin Cowboy compilation to date.
It is ambitious and complex, running several narratives.
In one you find the Shaolin Monk with recollections of his past, and sound advice from mentors, this section is in monochromatic tones.
In another, you find the Shaolin Monk tailed by the infamous Crab.



One of the mentors bears a likeness to Robert Mitchum, the actor, if you do not know his work--check out his movies, especially the "Night of the Hunter."

Darrow is the modern day Heironymus Bach, tearing down the facade of society, the establishment, and of the consumer, drone-like, world. He stitches together several cultures, world views, and eastern philosophy onto a world all his own.

There is humor to all the madness as well.
