Kurrent Edition (http://kurrentedition.weebly.com/index.html) picked up the following Western story for their Spring Anthology.
Below is the script in it's written form. I will be adding pictures once they come in.
Adrian Crismaru is my brilliant Illustrator on this story, his European western style of art inspired me to write this short story for him, and I am currently writing a 4 issue Western comic which we both hope to pitch to a European publisher together.
Enjoy!
