Gunplay (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gunplay is the haunting, bullet riddled tale of a Buffalo Soldier condemned to roam the Big Empty with a hellish curse slung at his waist - a demonic shooting iron that forces Abner to kill once a day or suffer soul searing pain. The 88 page, full color graphic novel invites readers to ride alongside Abner and the boy, revealing how the black cavalryman fell victim to the gun and how an adolescent faith healer brought death to an entire township. Under a scorching western sun, their hostile relationship will be transformed - with the boy not only offering companionship to a lonely soul but providing Abner with the moral compass that will guide his curse, transforming the gunman from desert nightmare to high plains folk hero.Christopher Priest provides prose backup stories in each issue, chronicling the Legend of Abner. .[1] Gunplay is a graphic novel series created by Jorge Vega of Far Rockaway, Queens of New York City.
