Created for an exhibit at The Denver Art Museum, Nat Love - A Cowboy’s Life is a comic book adaptation of the autobiography of Nat Love, a Black cowboy from the 1800s. He had a remarkable life, and a fictionalized version of him appeared in the Netflix film, The Harder They Fall.
As mentioned, this comic was a commission Alan did for the Denver Art Museum, and it’s still on display on the 7th floor of the Martin Building there. You can read it on a touch screen monitor there.
AND you can buy this printed version of it now!
Before writing it, Alan read Nat Love’s autobiography, and had to distill his life down to 6 pages. This book contains the story, then a Spanish version of the story, as well as the original black & white art, the color art, and an afterword from Lauren Thompson, of the Denver Art Museum.
