Flash Gordon and Lion Men!

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

Here is my cover for Flash Gordon #4, feat. the Lion Men!!!

Here's a quick summary of this issue: Flash Gordon and his allies -- the plucky Dale Arden and brilliant Dr. Hans Zarkov -- move closer to a confrontation with the forces of Ming the Merciless. Amid the political and military machinations of Mongo, Gordon faces the ferocious Lion Men, the sinister Shark Men, and a band of rebels commanded by Prince Barin!

Pls enjoy and Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday, everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

"Reign's End" (Black Panther #529 cover)

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

above you can see the cover for Black Panther #529, out in February. This is also my last Black Panther cover for the time being since the series will end with issue 529, which concludes the Kingpin of Wakanda arc, the current arc written by David Liss and drawn by Shawn Martinbrough and Mike Avon Oeming. As mentioned earlier in here, this arc is another great noir, pulp tale of our hero set in NYC so I suggest everyone to pick it up until its conclusion in February.

I wanted also to say THANKS to David Liss, guest artist Jefte Palo, letterer Joe Caramagna, editors Bill Rosemann, John Denning, and Jon Moisan, and everyone at MARVEL, all a joy to work with, and a huge THANKS to all of YOU guys who loved and supported our book since day one - it has been a wonderful ride and hopefully will get together again in the future, like old friends, to tell more Panther tales :)

Until then, I'll see you all on the pages of Captain America and Bucky starting in December.

Cheers,
Francesco
