Sneak Peek: David Hine and Shaky Kane’s Cowboys and Insects

Cowboys and Insects - Cover

US independent publisher (and comic shop) Floating World Comics will release a one shot of David Hine and Shaky Kane‘s Cowboys and Insects in October, available to buy from all good comic shops.

In Cowboys and Insects, first published in the digital comic Aces Weekly back in 2013, Kane and Hine follow up their cult hit The Bulletproof Coffin with a haunting, paranoid tale of troubled romance in an alternative 1950s, where the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests have had an unexpected effect on North America’s insects.

This creepy, one-shot horror story has plenty of some savage swipes at stereotyping, crowd-inspired witch hunts, with plenty of acerbic humour you’d expect from this talented creative team. It’s not just 1950s America that gets it in the neck in this brilliant, dark tale of Big Bugs and the men who wrangle them.

They also publish art newspapers and comics including the resurrected Arthur Magazine (although that project is, currently, dormant).
