Book Five in Jazan Wild's Carnival Of Souls Series.
Carnival of Souls: The Stilt Walker is the tale of Skyy, a Native American who rides high on the plains and who has all of his people looking up to him for his strength and courage. Able to see visions, one night a vision of two sets of wagons plagues his mind. One wagon carries pale face soldiers, while the other has a colorful crew and painted faced monster... known to the spirits as Jexter the Clown! Captured and hung out to dry in the scorching desert sun, Skyy just will not die. After all, he doesn’t know it yet, but he’s about to rise higher than ever before and become a Freak Show’s Warrior! Do not enter a carnival... ENTER THE CARNIVAL!

I just love every one of these comics and books. One day when I have them all I will read them again in order, but for now I will read what I can get. If you have not read Jazan Wild then you are missing out. I have enjoyed everything I have read by Darren Shan and I keep looking for more in any form I can get it in.
Skyy is a Native American hunter and warrior. His tribe is out hunting Buffalo for the Winter when they are ambushed by soldiers. The entire village is killed except Skyy who is taken prisoner as a trophy for the General.
But before long the Carnival comes to the Fort with the Ghosts of the Indian tribe the soldiers killed. They quickly overrun the Fort and exact their revenge.
This comic is also all in Black & White, but again looks great. The story is a bit clichéd though with the evil white man versus the good guy Native American tribe bit. The writing for Skyy's "prayer" is a bit weird as well.
