ROBOT TERROR!

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

   Inspired by the COLONIZED cover I posted this past Sunday, I decided to make this a ALIENS WEEK! So expect to see Martians (and other creatures from Outer Space) to land right here on Pulp Sunday all this week.

   Today we showcase those bad bad Martians from the classic TOPPS' MARS ATTACKS, which is having a revival as comicbook series thanks to IDW.
   I was asked to do a variant cover for #6 and had the option to be inspired by the classic set of cards by participating to the "30 seconds later" initiative. Pretty self-explanatory, the cover has to happen 30 seconds later of any of the scenes from the original cards.
   I went with ROBOT TERROR, (card #32) because, ya know, Aliens and Robots! :D

   Below the original card from the 50s, and above my 30 seconds later (and cover for #6).

 

FUN!

Check back for more Aliens Week!

Cheers,
Francesco

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families, everyone :)
And thank you so much, guys, for making Pulp Sunday a place so cool to hang around :)

Cheers,
Francesco

P.S. I was planning to post this in the Sketchblog too but I didn't want to ruin the cute sequence of Sesame St tributes over there ;)

"Vultus Premens Belua" (1204 circa)

Hello, Pulp Friends,

as mentioned yesterday, this November will be dedicated to all those aliens out(er) there who try to conquer Earth (or let's say we prefer them evil ;))
The occasion is the premiere of the new "V" series on ABC, a series I very much look forward to, being a big fan of the 1980s first version with Marc Singer and Michael Ironside (among others).

To start, a little Vultus Premens Belua, found in a bestiarium from 1204 and in a series of successful movies in recent years ;)
Stay tuned for more "Watchers form Outer Space"!

Happy Pulp Sunday, everybody! :)

Cheers,
Francesco
