Deadeye (9781733079563)

Deadeye - Dedicated to Everyone Who Ever Wanted to be a Cowboy Includes 21 original illustrations by celebrated artist Stephen MarchesiWhen Richie Wentworth was a kid, he dreamed of riding a white horse, having a faithful sidekick, chasing bad guys, fighting for justice, nabbing train robbers, tracking down rustlers, rescuing a girl in a runaway wagon, walking into a saloon and ordering milk, helping the Sheriff, winning a horse race, outdrawing a gunslinger. When he grew up, he made his dreams come true. When Benny Selma was a kid, he had no dreams. When he grew up, he met Deadeye.In 1950s and 60s America, when cowboy shows flooded the TV airwaves, almost every kid in the country wanted to be a cowboy or cowgirl when they grew up. In time, however, reality intervened and most had to settle for less fulfilling occupations. But Richard Wentworth, a troubled young lawyer who's not happy with his job or his life, realizes the only thing he ever really wanted to be is a cowboy and decides to head west."In this book, screenwriter Jay Moriarty has created a timely tale that pays homage to all those iconic cowboy shows that embodied America's core values, with a tip of the Stetson to Don Quixote. If you like Roy Rogers-not to mention The Lone Ranger, Hopalong Cassidy, The Cisco Kid, Annie Oakley, Johnny Mack Brown, Wild Bill Elliot-grab this book and saddle-up for a fast read and a fun ride with Deadeye, the most unlikely modern Everyman to join the list of legendary cowboy heroes."
