East Meets West Plate 9 - Study

I've been a huge fan of Geof Darrow's hyper-detailed work since the amszing Hardboiled, so when I met Geof and saw that he actually had art to sell, I was on the moon! Anywho, I wasn't sure what this piece was from, but knew it was the one. Some research indicates that it is East Meets West Plate 8 and I'm thinking that it is either a rough study for the final piece or the pencils that were later inked. In any event, I dig everything that is going on...starting with the Man with No Name...yeah.
