Saddle up for a psychedelic, blood-soaked western unlike anything you’ve ever read. From the visionary creative team of Sean Lewis (King Spawn, Bliss) and Hayden Sherman (The Few, John Carter of Mars), this Image Comics trade paperback is a fast-paced tale of revenge, ghosts, and a talking bird that pushes the boundaries of the genre.

This item is Brand New, making it a perfect addition for fans of Preacher, East of West, and anyone who loves a gritty "weird western" with a unique visual flair.

A Tale of Vengeance and Vultures

• The Story: Dirt is a man on a mission. Armed with his faithful pistols and accompanied by a foul-mouthed ghost-vulture named Speck, he is hunting down the men who murdered his wife. But in a frontier where the lines between the living and the dead are blurred, and where violence is the only universal language, Dirt's quest for justice might just cost him what’s left of his soul.

• A "Weird Western" Masterpiece: Sean Lewis crafts a narrative that is part classic frontier revenge story and part hallucinatory fever dream. The dialogue is sharp, the stakes are personal, and the world-building is hauntingly original.

• Striking, High-Contrast Art: Hayden Sherman’s artwork is the pulse of this book. With a jagged, high-energy style and a brilliant, unconventional color palette, every page feels like a work of modern art. The character designs and the desolate landscapes are rendered with a kinetic intensity that perfectly matches the story's pace.

• Critically Acclaimed: Above Snakes has been praised for revitalizing the Western genre in comics, offering a fresh, unapologetic, and visually stunning experience.
