In the follow-up to his GLAAD award-nominated debut original graphic novel Liebestrasse, writer Greg Lockard teams up with artist Anna David, letterer Lucas Gattoni and editor Will Dennis for Trick Pony an original graphic novel about a washed-up rodeo star who embarks on a road trip that will force him to face his past and present.
Together Lockard and David tell the emotional story of Jimmy Thomas, a gay rodeo star well past his prime. Jimmy is about to hit rock bottom when he receives an emergency call from his family alerting him that his father is in the hospital. Jimmy decides to head home with his trusty best friend, his horse Emmylou. While on the road he must confront the mistakes of his past, the monsters of his present, and come to terms with his life and future.
In a press release from Comixology, Lockard said about the graphic novel:
“Trick Pony is a project that has been germinating in my head and heart for over a decade. It’s a love letter to all my favorite Western stories but through a distinctly modern lens. Jimmy’s adventure is about self-fulfillment on the path to making your dreams come true… and accepting that some shadows are going to follow you for life.
Trick Pony is a story I think all readers can relate to. At the core, it’s about the choices we make, who we become, and where we end up.”
Trick Pony arrives February 28, 2023, Amazon’s Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line.
