This is a digital collage/painting based on a panel from "The Hawk" #5, a comic book published in 1953. The source drawing is by Dan Barry, with inking by Murphy Anderson.
Being from Winnipeg - a prairie city in the Canadian West which has the largest Indigenous population in Canada - the figure of the "cowboy" (either a settler himself or a recent descendent of settlers) always loomed large for me — a big hill of unresolved problems which I'd grown up playing on without a care in the world.
