From the GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer of the bestselling queer historical graphic novel LIEBESTRASSE comes this LGBTQA+ fantasy tale of a washed-up rodeo star heading home to visit his father in the hospital. While on the road he confronts the mistakes of his past and the monsters of his present.
A beautiful story that blends together themes of second chances, magical realism, queer romance, and fantasy.
"Heartbreaking, honest, and beautiful. I adored Trick Pony. It's everything I want in a graphic novel."—James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, The Department of Truth)
"Charming, heartfelt, and endlessly surprising. This is the cowboy fantasy I always dreamed of."—Tate Brombal (The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos, Behold, Behemoth)
"A psychedelic trip through a rodeo cowboy's haunted past, Trick Pony is wonderfully surreal and beautifully sentimental. I loved every poignant page of it."—Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, The Enfield Gang Massacre)
“Trick Pony is a heartfelt, beautifully delivered ode to self-reflection and coming to terms with the trauma and mistakes of our past to better handle the present. Lockard’s thoughtful and intense story pairs perfectly with David’s lush and vibrant art to create something resonant. You’ll love this book.”—Alex Segura (Secret Identity, Araña/Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow)
“It’s a book with as many interpretations and as much meaning as you’re willing to give it, but beneath all that strangeness, it’s also a book about seizing love wherever you find it and riding off into the sunset.”—Matt Kamen, Gayming Mag
“It was incredibly easy to fall into Jimmy Thomas’ boots and feel like I too was experiencing a tense reconciliation with a troubled past.”—Luke Henderson, The Comic Book Yeti
