It won't be out for a while (spring 2027 as far as I'm aware), but when that happens you might be interested in Reins and Restraint by Page Powars! And it's been a while since I read it, but Northranger by Rey Terciero could also be relevant if a YA graphic novel works for you.
thank you sm for these š«¶ i am open to adding YA to this list and i've been looking to read more graphic novels personally so, interesting š
just here to say i love the song this list title is based on :)
truly what did you think all them saddles and boots were about??
Thanks for including my pick! Great list

Do hippo cowboys count? š¤ š¦ āØ River of Teeth! Sarah Gailey.
this was recommended on my heist list as well so i am definitely going to read it soon!! adding here šāāļø
Ohhhh i didnāt even think to reccomend it for heist. And I just read it. š maybe because it already wasā¦?
Also canāt help but mention Noah Dao (noahdea.art) who does queer and trans artwork with lots of cowboys! Featured artwork in things like The Velvet Compote Horror Cowboy Zine. Thought someone might enjoy who passes through.
