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

COLONIZED!

Hello Pulp Friends,

It has been a while I haven't featured some good ole Sci-Fi art here on the blog.
I am very happy to fix that by sharing this recent Var Cover I did for Chris Ryall's and Drew Moss' "THE COLONIZED", their sci-fi book that is an homage to classic '50s genere book featuring (get ready) ZOMBIES VS ALIENS! :D
FUN!
Issue 4 (with this cover) will be on sale in June from IDW.

Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday, everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

La Cucaracha!

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
