Hello Pulp Friends,

while I was working on the cover for Dark Shadows #11 thi past Friday, I heard the sad news about the passing of Jonathan Frid, the actor who borught to life the character of the romantic gothic vampire we all love: Barnabas Collins.

In memoriam of Jonathan, here's the latest cover for issue 10 and a collage/poster of the first 9 covers I did, all portraying his on-screen character.

So long, Jonathan, thanks for all you have done.

Cheers,
Francesco

Hello Pulp Friends,

here's the latest cover for Dark Shadows, featuring some very creepy PAPER DOLLS :D



I wanted also to let you all know I have been nominated for the prestigious Eisner Award in the Best COver Artist category, thanks to the covers I have been doing for DARK SHADOWS, LONE RANGER, WARLORD OF MARS, ZORRO, BLACK PANTHER, and ARCHIE MEETS KISS.
I can't even express how excited and honored I am to be an Eisner nominee: as someone who has been working in this industry for some time now, it really means a lot.
Let's cross fingers now and hope I can bring that little trophy home :)

Thank you all for the continuing love and support: you guys def inspire me to do more and better every time :)

Cheers,
Francesco
