I'm suddenly very interested in stories, novels, films, music, poems, and comics/graphic narratives that take insanity, altered states of consciousness, and/or terminal illness as a primary theme. My general preference is for science fiction and speculative fiction, but suggestions from other genres would be very good as well.

I'm looking for examples from literature, comic books, film, and other media, in which a character, for no clear reason (or unexpectedly), is a cowboy.

A number of years ago (8? 10?) there was a relatively low budget movie version of
The Fantastic Four made, only to be bought up, and never shown the light of day, awaiting a big-budget production in the future.
Has anyone stumbled across information of this aborted project, and does anyone know where some video of it exists (in a digital format)?
