The Shadow Knows!

THE SHADOW

Hello Pulp Friends,

Those of you who have been following Pulp SUnday since day one know that I started this blog with the old radio shows of THE SHADOW and providing lobby card art to go with each episode. So you know how much I love this pulp icon, right?
Well, I am VERY excited to announce that I will be providing covers for the new THE SHADOW series at Dynamite, written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Aaron Campbell :)
The above is not a cover, or not exactly a cover (more like a tease from a cover ;)) but I can't wait to show you what I have been cooking for this.

Stay tuned in for more details coming soon :)

Cheers,
Francesco

  1. That's pretty awesome, Francesco.

    We just started rebroadcasting the old shows on our website on Two-Fisted Tuesdays. I forgot that Orson Welles was the original voice.

  2. I love "The Shadow" OTR shows and listen to them religiously while working on my own comic TALES OF A CHECKERED MAN. Can't wait to check out this new series!

  4. Excited to hear that you are doing a cover. I hope they are pencil sketched initially.

    It has been a long time coming. Your lobby cards were great. Your Shadow daily newspaper awesome, and of course the commission you did for me out of this world.

    Bring it on.
