Trailers, concept art, and cast interviews for Jon Favreau‘s Cowboys & Alienshave dotted television and movie theater screens for months now and with the film releasing the Friday before last (7.23.2011) it seemed as if the in-and-outs of the film, as far as the origin, cast, and hype had to come to fruition, but I was shocked to learn that Cowboys & Aliens is based upon an eponymous graphic novel.
In 2006 a graphic novel created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, written by Fred Van Lente (who also wrote the novelization of the film) & Andrew Foley, and penciled by Luciano Lima was released by Platinum Studios entitled ‘Cowboys and Aliens‘ thus inspiring the creation of the film. Amazon has an original printing of Platinum Studios‘, Cowboys and Aliens, available for a hefty $59.95 price tag, but if you are interested in a little Cowboys and Aliens comic book action check out its sequel, Cowboys & Aliens: Worlds at War, which released in 2007 as a webcomic.
Below I have included the lead poster for Cowboys & Aliens the film as well as the Cowboys and Aliens graphic novel cover.
