“This actuallymay be the story’s ideal form, since the author’s sonBeau came to realize that the core of the talewas the tense relationship between [Marone] and Lopez. . . . The graphic novel version provides room to develop this theme. Yeates’s black-and-white depiction of the rugged landscape and the hard-bitten characters is superb. The result is stunning and richly textured.” —PublishersWeekly “[An] interesting tale of range rivalries turned bloody. . . .
