Dark Horse Comics has revealed a new edition of Geof Darrow’s amazing Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to Be Kin, and it goes by the name Silent but Deadly Edition. The new edition will be released in this fall with Darrow’s art, Dave Stewart’s coloring and without lettering.
I recommend NOT missing our exclusive chat with Darrow on the AIPT Comics podcast, as we talk all about his work on this amazing series.
So why the new edition? As Dark Horse puts it:
No words to slow you down, no philosophy to burden your tic-tocked brain—just pure unadulterated and uncensored, pedal to the metal, full color, kung fu, six gun, barn-burning action as only Stewart and Darrow can deliver. No valium nor Xanax can help you with this pulse-pounding tome. If you think you know the whole story you don’t! So light a match and crack open the window of your imagination and take a deep breath of the CRUEL TO BE KIN SILENT BUT DEADLY edition!!! Geof Said Non-Believer!
Check out the new cover below.

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (March 5, 2024)—Geof Darrow’s highly praised Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to Be Kin series will be presented in a new oversized edition perfect for admirers of Darrow’s incredibly detailed artwork. The Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to Be Kin—Silent but Deadly Edition is set to arrive in Fall 2024. The Silent but Deadly Edition presents Darrow’s art and Dave Stewart’s coloring without lettering.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then more than 205 pages of the stupendous and technicolor art of Dave Stewart and the dubious letterless box drawings of Geof Darrow must be worth at least…well…you do the math. But that’s what you are going to get when Dark Horse presents the king-size SILENT BUT DEADLY edition of the The Shaolin Cowboy epic “CRUEL TO BE KIN.” No words to slow you down, no philosophy to burden your tic-tocked brain—just pure unadulterated and uncensored, pedal to the metal, full color, kung fu, six gun, barn-burning action as only Stewart and Darrow can deliver. No valium nor Xanax can help you with this pulse-pounding tome. If you think you know the whole story you don’t! So light a match and crack open the window of your imagination and take a deep breath of the CRUEL TO BE KIN SILENT BUT DEADLY edition!!! Geof Said Non-Believer!

Praise for Shaolin Cowboy:
“Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel To Be Kin is a work of art in more ways than one. It’s positively weird, and likely the weirdest comic you’ll read all year. Pair that weirdness with the incredible visuals and Shaolin Cowboy will take your breath away. There’s nothing else like Shaolin Cowboy in comics or in any other media.”—AIPT Comics
“It’s bravely original, refreshingly unique and has an ending that will change your day.”—Big Comic Page
“ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE who likes kung-fu, cheeky humour, over-the-top action and beautifully detailed artwork–you need to stop reading [this] and go read this book.”—Comic Addicts
“The Shaolin Cowboy is incredibly odd, incredibly dense, incredibly thrilling in a way that gives me a small little high every time I read an issue…”—Comics Bulletin
