A review by mschlat
The Cowboy Wally Show by Kyle Baker

5.0

One of my all-time favorite graphic novels. This was a grail novel for me back in the day --- I had heard of it (mainly through quotes seen on rec.arts.comics on Usenet), but didn't see a copy for years. I finally picked up a used copy and was underwhelmed for the first read. Later reads, however, just cemented for me the comic genius of the work. The last of the four acts in particular melds great comic timing, horrible jokes, and just enough pathos to add some emotional impact. One of my favorite things to read when I can't get to sleep.
