Cowboys & Aliens Giveaway Contest

Here's your chance to win a hardcover copy of the original graphic novel.

No Caption Provided
When I first heard about Cowboys & Aliens, I was surprised that I hadn't read the concept before. Obviously I wasn't the only one that liked the idea since it is going to be a major motion movie this summer. 
 
The book originally came out in 2006 but it had a limited run and not everyone had a chance to read it. There is a nice new hardcover printing from HarperCollins available. 
 
This is where the contest part comes in. HarperCollins has sent us five copies to giveaway. That means five winners
 
Before getting into the nitty gritty of the contest, let me get the bad news out of the way; this contest is only open to those in the United States or Canada. Sorry folks. Nothing personal, that's just how it goes.  
 
Here's the details on how you can win. 
 == TEASER == 
No Caption Provided
Because the charm of the story is the meshing of the different genres, that will be the focus of this contest. We want you to match up Cowboys with something else. What else would be an interesting concept to pair up with Cowboys? How do you enter? 
 

Draw a picture 

One way to enter is to break out the paper and pencil and draw a picture. Put your drawing skills to the test. Let's see some cowboys fighting against whoever or whatever you think would be cool to see. 
 

Write a short pitch 

Because not everyone has artistic skills, we didn't want you guys to be left out. To win in this category, you need to write up a short pitch. You can't just submit "Cowboys & ____." To make it fair to the artist spending time drawing, in order to win here, you'll have to come up with the pairing and set up how the story would begin. How do these two genres meet and get combined? Let's keep it to one paragraph. 
 

What about photoshop?

 I know there is some debate whether manipulating an image with photoshop is a fair entry or not. If you have photoshop skillz, let's see what you can come up with. I want to see a complete picture. Background, action, etc. 
 
There will be two winners in the Drawing category, two in the Short Pitch category and one in the Photoshop category. We will choose our favorites in each category. The contest ends April 11, 2011 at midnight PT. Submit your entries in the comments below. One entry per person (so don't enter all three categories, choose one). Please try to refrain from random comments in this thread to make it easier for us to select the weiners. The winners will be notified here and by pm. Good luck to all!

Well, I'm so sorry I didn't get around to drawing something up for this contest. I had some personal matters that came up a couple of weeks ago that prevented me from participating. Good luck on those that entered the contest! :-)

Cowboys and Angels



The West. A place of  debauchery and sin. Sex fills every home and alcohol flows down the streets like water down a stream. Its best definition: A modern day Sodam and Gamora. While God promised to leave the human race to its own devices, His wrath and  disappointment is well known throughout heaven and his true children have grown tired of the near infinite mercy and forgiveness He shows His favored sons and daughters. The angels of heaven have decided to shoulder the burden of man and will now explicitly and harshly reveal their jealousy toward the unjust and wicked humans. With the near full power of heaven coming down on Earth and their Holy Father turning their back on them only one thing that can save them is a little old-school gunslinging. The story takes place 7 years after the initial assault with the humans finally  beginning to understand how to fight the once sacred soldiers of God. By using guns condemned by a priest and bullets made of metal cooled in soiled holy water, the cowboys are finally fighting back and things are about to get messy with just a hint of sacrilegious.

COWBOYS AND DEMONS-

 Set in the old west, a skilled cowboy known only as "Jack" leads a violent gang of criminals across America, working for a powerful crime empire known as "The Black Revolver", composed of corrupt sheriffs, cowboys, and wealthy men. Jack's gang carries out missions for two things: money and fame. Jack, however, does not care for either. The Black Revolver threatens his son, who is actually mentally ill in reality, but is seen as possessed by a demon by all, including Jack. While Jack loves his son, he also fears him, seeing that he believes a demon lurks in him. But perhaps the demon is actually in Jack.  Jack comes from a tormented childhood, filled with betrayal and pain. Jack's wife, the only thing that made him feel love for life,  died under mysterious causes, forcing Jack into a constant mood of sadness and anger. Jack only lives to protect and raise his son. One day, Jack is promised a "final job", and that the empire will give him and his son freedom if he completes it. Jack and his gang is instructed to find and enter a rumored "lost city" out somewhere in the desert,  and recover a mysterious amulet for the Black Revolver. Unknown to Jack and his crew, this city is lost for a reason- a violent massacre occurred. One which is said to have been done by evil "demons". If Jack wants his and his son's freedom, he will have to enter the city, and battle these demons....though the greatest battle might be against his own demons. "

Cowboys & Deitys 

They have grown impatient. It has been century upon century since they have been praised. Once upon a time they were worshiped and revered fervently. Not a moment went by that dozens of prayers fed them the sustenance they so desperately craved. Now they have been usurped by this creature named "God" and they think that it has come time to remind the humans of their power and who they should truly fear. To begin there lesson they will start with the infant nation known as "America" . The majority of the gods, driven by insanity, are very ready to move forward with the plan, mother god Isis however can not help but feel sympathy for her 'children'  and feels she must assist them against her godly brethren. Set in The Ol' West the main character is a mysterious Nubian man hailing from Africa, who has been running from his past since he first learned to walk.(his past is he is a demi-god, the bastard child of Ra with no memory of his entire life because he can only remember 99 years or so at a time). He is the first to be contacted by Isis due to his godly essence and as the story unfolds his powers by birthright slowly reveal themselves. Even with the turn of Isis and the assistance of Iabi-Akori(Nubian) is the indomitable human will enough to end the ancient Egyptian threat or will the human race be wiped out to be replaced by a race that will not soon forget the punishment of the first?

*edit*
Cowboys & DISCO
(The one-paragraph condensation.)

A self-proclaimed mad scientist uses his position as a  discothèque's maintenance worker to conduct his experiments.  He creates a fractal light cage using the disco balls, and with a mishap involving a few ice cubes, displaces the dance club in time.  The cowboys posse up to check out the new addition to their town.  Then things get funky.  Who will survive?
*edit*


Cowboys & DISCO
(Original long-form version.)
Self-proclaimed mad scientist, Edward Winn lives a frustrating life.  He tends to mumble, so everyone he meets ends up calling him Edwin.  He took the job as a maintenance man at the most popular club in the city, to both fund his experiments with a meager income, and have access to a variety of mechanical parts he wouldn't be able to afford himself.
     Edward's latest obsession was his theory of being able to travel through time by creating a fractal light cage that would hold the enclosed area in place while the time stream eddied and flowed around it.  He'd painstakingly readjusted each tiny mirrored surface on the main disco ball in the center of the dance floor, and talked the manager into adding four more smaller ones of his own creation around the perimeter for added pizzazz.  His tests during the off hours were yielding no results, so he didn't worry about leaving them in configuration while everyone grooved to the music all night long.
     However, this fateful Saturday night, one woman's drink changed everything.  As she tarried through the crowd holding her glass up in the air, she came to stand beneath the main shaft of light emitting from the bottom of the main disco ball.  The light shone into the drink, and shot out again, refracted by the ice cubes, in an unanticipated array.  This new, perfect light cage held for one infinite second, everyone within it unable to move.  No one noticed aside from Edward.  To everyone else, it was a mere blink, while Edward's perception allowed him the chance to take in what had happened.  Then the ice melted just enough, and the cage released them.

     Crill Walker burst into the saloon, shouting something about a building appearing out of nowhere out back of Stane's General Store.  Those nearest the entrance peered outside to confirm his story, and described strange lights dancing across the sky.  It was quickly decided to posse up and check it out.  They all downed what was left of their whiskey, made sure their guns were loaded, and headed across the street.

Then things got funky.  Who will survive?

( Oh, wait... one paragraph. :(  I guess I'm not a pitch man. )

I know almost nothing on these characters other than what I could find scouring the net, plus it seems the movie is going to be in it's 'own world' compared to the book so I just mashed togethor a little bit of everything from what I found.

I style myself more of a writer than an artist, but I decided to break out the coloured pencils and draw something for the helluvit.

It did, however, take a surprisingly long time. I want that book!

Cowboys and Gods

one nation.... too many gods.

  Charles Holland was the son of the greatest Sheriff the west could remember. After recovering from injuries sustained while single-handedly apprehending the entire 12 man gang who ended his fathers life, Charles is approached by federal agents with a seemingly simple job, to kill a Mexican outlaw who threatens the growth of the West.
 But Charles soon discovers that his outlaw is really the deposed Mextli, one of the few surviving Aztec gods. Upon killing Mextli, Charles unveils a plot by dozens of gods from various mythologies holed up in the Americas. Their intentions: to take back the world... and make humanity pay for forsaking them.
 With mysterious orphan boy Ekk in tow (secretly the depowered Aztec god Ehecatl), the weapons of Mextli at his disposal, and the limited support of the Federal Government behind him, Charles must scour The Americas to kill the old gods once an for all, before they can build up their powers and spread their influence across and beyond the continent.

    ...............................................................................................................................................................................
pretty much, Charles will meet choice gods from norse, greek/roman, and possibly a handful of other random mythologies gods. Most of them will be powered down to the barest of their abilities, the side effect of going unworshiped for so many decades. So for example when Charles meets Dionysus in a bar, he wouldnt try to fight someone as acclaimed as charles head on. Instead, he would entice a rowdy bar fight and work with the chaos of the situation. But only a special couple of the gods will actually have powers, the rest just working with the mortal gifts they had.  Ekk's role in the early encounters will be to try to talk sense into some of the more reasonable gods they meet (as he is, among other things, a god of humanity, and on Charles' side). one of the final confrontations would be with one of the chaos or trickster gods, who will boast assembling the 12 man gang that killed Charles' father, and that his father and the government had started this quest to stop the gods long before him. this would be revealed in the final issues, as not to give the whole story a cheesy "avenging my father" feel. However, it would do well to bring closure to Charles' opinion of his father, as he remembered him mostly as a drunken bastard.
 lastly, once all of the offending gods were killed, the question of how exactly the gods lost their powers in the first place would come up. While it wouldnt be addressed, it would open the door for a sequel dealing with whatever the answer to that question is.... :)

Cowboys and Demons


Late at night in a small town in Arizona a group of 6 Satanists are performing a ritual.  The town Preacher stumbles upon the cult and is captured.  After an extensive ritual the cult kills the priest as a sacrifice.  The ground opens up and fire engulfs all the Satanists burning them to ash.  From the ashes arise 6 demons who take the cultists guns and horses and ride into town.  The town takes refuge in the church as the demons can not touch sacred ground.  After a while the cowboys start soaking their bullets in holy water and shooting at the demons killing 3.  The other 3 hide in an attempt to draw the people out of the church.  Knowing that they are running out of food the 5 cowboys go out of the church looking to take out the final 3 demons.  The demons take out 3 of the demons while the cowboys take out 2 of the demons.  Finally one of the cowboys sacrifices himself so the final demon can be killed.

I can't win, as I live in Australia, so this entry is purely for fun and feedback;

Cowboys and the Route of Evil
A rumour spreads amongst the Old West of a treasure buried deep beneath the Earth, inside a mysterious place known only as Tek. In order to enter Tek, each man must forsake a part of their humanity, be it the leaving of a loved one, the murder of a pet, the sacrifice of integrity, etc...
As each man casts aside a piece of themselves, they are shown entrance Tek; through an underground cavern system. Soon, the contestants realise that with each piece of their humanity that they cast aside, their chances of finding the treasure improve. They begin to attack eachother; their horses move faster. A man renounces his God; his pistols only fire true.

Soon, the surviving Cowboys navigate Tek and approach the treasure. There, they encountered vast insurmountable gold and jewels; beyond their wildest imagining. As they indulge themselves, a woman in a hooded cloak appears before them. She announces herself as Aequitas; the personification of Justice. The men had been lured to Tek, actually Tartarus, for the misdeeds they had committed in Aequitas' name.

The man who left his wife; had killed a barman for flirting with her. The man who murdered his pet had stolen that same creature from a man who he believed cheated him at cards. The man who renounced his God had beaten a preacher from another religion. The Old West had become a cesspool of immorality disguised as nobility; of viciousness disguised as honor; a time of murder disguised as Justice.
All had committed atrocities, all had done so believing them to be just. Aequitas condemns the men for using her name blindly as a defence, and yet spitting on it the second it was no longer of any use.

Aequitas leaves the men to their riches, and walks into the shadows. One of the men shouts: "So that's it then? You're just gonna leave? We're off the hook?"
The treasure of Tek then morphs into fire, and the men burn in the Hell of their own making.

Cowboys and Villains

It's almost a normal night in Gotham. The streets are raging with sirens. The sounds of faint screams and gunfire can be made out. "Where is Batman?" is plastered on the headline of the latest issue of The Gotham Gazette. The paper blows from the wind down the dark lonely alley, but is stopped by a gentle tap from a steel armor boot. "It took a couple of days, but I finally got what you asked for Mr. Boss Man Sirrr...". Says a soft playful voice emanating from the other side of Crime Alley.  "Great job, now we're only 3 days behind, while you were out doing God knows what, Gotham and Metropolis has been burning.". "Lex, sweetheart, we both know flattery will get you NO WHERE.. AHAHAHA" Shouts Joker as he walks toward the now frowning man in green armor. "Ok, now Lexy Boy!, I did my part and got the ol' gang back together". *Turns to reveal a band of villains standing behind him, all in the group include Bane, Poison Ivy, Red Hood, Scarlet, Mr. Freeze, and Killer Croc.* "Now... tell me, did you do your part?" says Joker sarcastically as he makes a low grin. "Like I said, Ive been done for 3 days now, I will no longer,,,, accept further delays!" Lex Luthor, snarls as he pulls the cover off of a small third-rate time machine platform that looks like something that came from a crappy 80's movie. "So the plan, what is it?". Whispers Red Hood as he watches a blimp on fire crash somewhere off in the distance. "As you all know, after Superman surprisingly failed to stop Doomsday, it didn't take much time for him to kill your precious Batman... and friends....".Winks Lex to Red Hood. "Watch it, freak!" Roars Red Hood as he pulls his guns out of their holsters. "Boys, BOYS, save the pissing contest for later ok?,....after we go back in time, and make sure this time Doomsday is stopped in Metropolis, we'll ALL be safe, and then, and only then will you guys have the chance to tear each other limb from limb, but for now... Shall We?" Poison Ivy positions herself towards the platform.*The wary group steps on the platform unsure of their future*. "Ok, so if my calculations are correct.... we'll be in Metropolis the day before... Doomsday's initial unearthing" *Lex Luthor starts the Time Machine* In a flash, they are no longer in Gotham. They look around only to find themselves in a hot sticky dessert. "Well, this must be  embarrassing". Joker smirks. "Hold It Rite There!... I'm Deputy Colt from Pine Rock County, and I demand to know, who you are and where you came from!" Says a man on a horse pointing a LeMat Revolver. His eyes are wide with fright and anger. His cloths are old and tattered. A second later, almost as if on que. A small army appears behind him. "Were not in Kansas anymore friends!". Joker laughs. As the Villains form in Battle Formation behind him.

I'd enter art, but I am not from North America. Are we allowed to enter if we know we can't win? It'll basically be the same as a normal contest for me really LOL


Ooh, don't suppose if someone else from around the world enters, and wins (if allowed), they could nominate a user thats based in America or Canada (as the prize and all that)? That would be kinda nice, and get more people to be able to enter maybe?

Cowboys & Cadavers 

In 1865, on the Hawaiian island of Niihau, dark secrets have laid dormant for centuries.  Now, a courageous group of  twelve Paniolo, or Hawaiian cowboys, led by  Gascon Romero, explore the island in order to assist its new owner, Elizabeth Sinclair, in planning how best to use the islands resources.  What she neglects to tell Gascon was the real reason her family bought the island. 

In labyrinthine caves beneath Niihau lies Lua-o-Milu, or the Land of the Dead. Led by Milu, a dark God, Death himself, waiting for the blood sacrifices denied to him for so long.  His people, Hawini-o-Milu,  lingering in an existence between life and death, maintained only by his dark magics, seek vengeance upon the world of man and the enemies of their dark god.

What interest would a privileged family have in unleashing an army of undead upon the world?   When rotting fetid flesh meets Spanish horsemen who will prevail?

Cowboys & Yellow Belly Sneetches

In a desolate place out west, pass the rock and a hard spot. Lies a town where law is control by the sound of a gun. Cowboys, outlaws, and bounty hunters rule the days, from sun set to sun down, where carrying a big gun and shooting straight was all that matters. Till one day a group of outsiders wondered in and challenged the entire town. They know no fear, they fear no man and they where a bunch of Yellow Belly Sneetches. One cowboy will stand and not rest till every single Yellow Belly Sneetch is dead. For this town belongs to cowboys not some Yellow Belly Sneetches!

The Superheroes of the old west vs the Super villains of the old west 
 
the world is set up with vigilante cowboys dressed up in outfits with no real powers other then what they skill in. full of wanna-be's and real ones meshed up,There'd be; 
  The Heros:
Shotgun superhero. fat, balding, day job as a bartender. just blows through Sh@t. 2 shotguns? 1 big one? the lots
 genuine Leader. brave but alittle to courageous for his own good. wears cape, carries single revolver. and rifle.
Gogo Girl, some club dancer. double pistol. thin mask covering only eyes. tired of being womanized her whole life in the west, now making a name.  
and Finally we have an "Hawkman-like" Indian who bares bow and arrow with a couple rambo knifes. teenager. parents disagree working with the white man. 
 
The Villains:
Obviously the Dynamite Villain. insane would be to easy, make him an Rich man from the oil biz. use dynamite to find oil, now to blow up the cowboys.  
Next is; The Drunk, bearded,alcoholic gambler. uses sly tricks and traps to win a fight. always out of range and drinking a bottle of scotch.  
The circus ringmaster. whip. lion. midget partner....Hell yeah...enough said. 
and then we have The dark, slim eye, play it cool, not alot of words, kinda guy. fast draw. shady looking.  maybe got one arm..or an big nasty scar. something wrong.  
 
The Universe: 
It could be now. set 2011. the technology and science never developed cause of these hero vs villain fights. no real national police but it's getting better. every kid wants to grow up and be a hero but alot die, finding it is real "true grit!" (that movie was sweet lol) some technology has been progressed but not much and in alot of different ways. the world is split by violence, well any chance a newer future has, it gets rubbed out. this could be like medieval had the dark ages, and this could be another new one; The Rough ages.  
 
or something cheesy like that!

Yep sucks for anyone in Europe, even if they do pay for the site they don't even get a chance to enter the contest!! But as G-man said "thats the way it goes.." end quote ..even if it's a little unfair! "

True, but to be fair we still got our Whiskey t-shirts ;)  And the postage for a heavy hardback book would be costly... which is why I only offer nice light weighing comics in my contests ;) 
 
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!
