Hello Pulp Friends,

I am so happy to finally announce my next project at MARVEL: CAPTAIN AMERICA and BLACK WIDOW, a 5 issue mini written by a dear friend of mine and a heck of talented writer, Mr Cullen Bunn :)

The mini will debut this September with a double shipping (#636 and #637) and will mix the classic Super Hero action with noir-thriller (as seen on the above cover) and weird-science, sci-fi themes (as you can see below). I am working on it right now and trust me: it's gonna be tons of FUN :)

Hello Pulp Friends,

I can finally reveal another of the many "side" projects I am working on here and there: "LA CUCARACHA", a short GRAVESLINGER tale written by the super talented and super friend Cullen Bunn.


I was waiting to draw some more GRAVESLINGER since I did the below pinup 2 ys ago, and thanks to Shannon Denton I got to kill two roaches...err... two birds with one stone because not only I am drawing a tale, but I am also working with Cullen, which is a delight just that alone :)
Hope you dig it, and if you think this page is nasty, wait to see the next ones ;)


The tale will be part of a collection of short tales soon to be published by IDW. STay tuned for more info.

Cheers,
Francesco

MPC Week: "The Damned"

SOMETIMES, THE ONLY PERSON YOU CAN TRUST IS A DEAD MAN.

Today's Modern Pulp Comic is dedicated to the creation of the phantasmatic duo Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt: The Damned (published by ONI)


Do you think the alcohol was the only illegal traffic during the prohibition era? Think again! Behind the curtains (and in the lower areas of the city) there was another HUGE traffic which was controlled by an evil way worst than the gangsters: the demons themselves! And the traffic, of course, was in mortal souls. Things get interesting when a gumshoe (and hero of the book) gets picked up by the ditch where he was buried and put on the case. Defined like a cross between hellblazer and The Untouchables, The Damned promises cool pulp/gangster adventure with some good dose of supernatural to spice it up, all wonderfully served in a beautiful, moody, and classic black&white.

Cheers,
Francesco
