CHeck in tomorrow for more details and wish you all a wonderful Pulp Sunday :)

Here's the solicits for this issue:

art ALEX SANCHEZ
cover FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA

PILOT SEASON RETURNS! TAKE CONTROL!
A random act of kindness can be damning. When a man witnessed the ruthless beating of an innocent woman, he rushed to help her and was brutally murdered for his trouble. Now driven by revenge, sorrow, and guilt, the woman enacts arcane forces to resurrect him. From out of the earth he'll rise, a twisted, worm-riddled monstrosity forced to carry out vengeance to maintain whatever life he has left, all while confronting the unimaginable truth of his new, hideous existence. Is he forever damned to be a rotting monster driven by an insatiable bloodlust...or is it possible to shed the curse and return to normal? The torment belongs to the living nightmare they'll call Fleshdigger. God help anyone who gets in his way!

From Harvey Award nominee SHANNON ERIC DENTON (GRAVESLINGER, Common Foe) and screenwriter BRAD KEENE (The Grudge 3) and artist ALEX SANCHEZ (Fathom: Blue Descent) comes a tale of supernatural horror!

Cheers,
Francesco

Coming Home...

Hi guys,

I had to take a break from the BB stuff this week for focusing on some work that is due ;)
One of the project is my short tale (I am wirting, drawing, and coloring this) for the anthology Outlaw Territory vol.II, coming from Image Comics.
Here's page 3 which probably is also the last page I am showing, otherwise I am going to spoil my story. I thought this was a good cliffhanger to end the preview with ;)

Have a great Pulp day everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

The Hunt!

Hi guys,

New day new post: this time it's page 2 from my short story "Lullaby" for the western anthology "Outlaw Territory" Vol.2, edited by Michael Woods and to be released through Image comics. While working in between issues for the Wildstorm mini, I am slowly getting this little tale done as well. Hope you guys dig it :)

Have a great Pulp Friday everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

"Lullaby" - A Short Tale from the Frontier

Hi guys,

I am pretty booked drawing sequentials these days so I didn't get the chance to illustrate a new radio show of the Shadow, but I wanted to chime in anyway since it's Sunday and give you a sneak peek at "Lullaby", a short story I am doing (story and art al together) for "Outlaw Territory" Vol.2, a collection of Western tales edited by the good Michael Woods and (soon to be) published by Image Comics. I will make sure to post order code and release date when I will know them: meanwhile I hope you enjoy this first page (and the finished inks + intial rough version below).

Have a great Pulp Sunday everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco
