Hello Pulp Friends,

For today's installment of COVER WEEK, here's my final cover for the Sherlock Holmes Year One mini. I am gonna miss drawing the Greatest Detective of all times, at least in the near future.
I hope you guys are picking up this book becuase it's a really entertaining read, Scott Beatty is doing it right :)

Covers by Francesco Francavilla, Aaron Campbell, Daniel Indro
Writer: Scott Beatty
Penciller/Inker: Daniel Indro

Captured by the Twelve Caesars Killer, Holmes, his reluctant partner Dr. John Watson, and the fetching Irene Adler fight to free themselves before the maniacal murderer completes his deadly dozen! But when the madman's identity is finally revealed, the greater horror may be what the Killer intends to accomplish with his terrible infamy! Will London survive?


Cheers,
Francesco

Hello Pulp Friends,

I can finally reveal my cover for the issue 5 of Sherlock Holmes Year One.
Hope you guys enjoy it :)

I also hope you guys picked up Detective Comics #874 this past Wed: it's the first of 2 issues written by mastermind Scott Snyder and entirely illustrated by me and both focus on Gordon and his "prodigal" son James Jr.
Critics and fans seem to LOVE it, so if you haven't picked up yet, please do so: it really is a good read :)
Also I will be at ECCC this next weekend: details coming soon, but if you are attending, pls feel free to stop by and say hi :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Sherlock Holmes Year One #1 Cover

Hello Pulp Friends,

2011 will have some new sweet covers from yours truly :)

One of the title I was lucky to be asked to provide main covers for is Dynamite's SHERLOCK HOLMES YEAR ONE. I have read the first 2 scripts and - trust me - it's a book you wanna put on your pull list.
For this title I decided to try a different approach, more like a tribute to the classic Holmes dime novel covers.
Here's the first one: please let me know if you dig the direction here :)

About the other covers I am doing... well, we will talk about them when I am allowed ;)
Meanwhile come back all week since this is gonna be COVER WEEK! :)

Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco
