Oni Press has released a single-volume, two-story duology, Cave Grave: Wild West Stories, by writer/artist Shawn Kuruneru. Today, The Beat can reveal an exclusive excerpt from the book.
Cave Grave features two stories of deceit set in the American West. Here’s the synopsis:
Writer/artist Shawn Kuruneru (The Goddamn Tragedy) explores stories of double-crossing desperation—and hopeless humanity—set against a backdrop of the lawless West in this duology of wild tales.
In “Cave Grave,” the art of double-crossing is taken to a new extreme as three struggling thieves attempt to pull off the heist of a lifetime—only to realize they’ve stolen more than they bargained for.
In “Poor Moon,” a cowboy searching for purpose turns to bounty hunting. Catch, return, reward—it’s simple, until he picks up a bounty that’ll change his life forever. Until the hunter becomes the hunted . . .
