Enemy Ace

Hello Pulp Friends,

To keep it in the WWII theme, here's a pinup I just finished for a retrospective dedicated to Garth Ennis (in this case: Enemy Ace War in Heaven) during the upcoming Napoli Comicon, Naples, Italy.

Geez how much love drawing this kinda stuff :D

Below the B/W inks, which turned out almost with a Toppi vibe to them, and a sepia/greyscale old-looking version.
Hope you guys enjoy :)

Cheers and stay warm,
Francesco

Hello Pulp Friends,

Some more Pulp fun done for the Comic Twart jam.
Of course, being the Pulp afecionado I am, I couldn't be more happy with such choices. And I am hoping such joy breathes through this week's illo.
I am posting her eon Pulp Sunday also the intial rough sketch, the inks, and a detail of the final rendition.

Now if only I could work on a full mini showcasing GI Robot and set in a (of course Weird) World War II action, I would be (can you believe it?) even happier :D

Cheers,
Francesco

Hello Pulp friends :)

The following events take place between 10.12 pm and 11.12 pm ;)
Sorry for the 24 nod, but I just realized I am almost telling the story in real time. Plus today it's Monday (instead of SUnday) and that's when the new 24 is on ;)
Yep, a lil' late Kara Bocek page (blame it on the Superbowl of yesterday or, most likely, on a couple of work deadlines), but I hope it was worth the wait.

Hope you enjoy page 8 and please bring on the love :)

Hope you all had a wonderful Pulp Sunday yesterday!

Cheers,
Francesco

Torpedo 1916-1926

Hello Pulp Friends,

I am so happy the guys at Comic Twart are chosing pulp heroes as topic for the weekly jams. That allows me to tackle some of my fav characters, like Abuli & Bernet's TORPEDO for example :)

Above you see my entry for the jam: a very young Luca Torelli in a little scene I titled "My First Fedora" :)

This one of the nr.2 of the 3 ideas I had for the jam, and below you can see the nr.3 which I will eventually develop in a more finished illo (when I get chance). The first idea is also looking for a abit of time so I can sit down and inkwash it ;)
Hope you guys dig it :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Zorro #19

Hello Pulp Friends,

today issue 19 of Zorro hits the shelves and I wanted to give a little preview of it in here as well. Issue 19 and upcoming #20 are my best Zorro books to date so I really hope you guys are picking these up becuase you are going to really enjoy them, I promise :)

This whole third arc has been so much fun to draw, specially thanks to Matt who came up with scripts that made me play with old horror EC styles and classic old western settings. FUN! :)

Anyhow, enough talking. Head to the stores, pick the book and lemme know if you agree or disagree with me ;)

Cheers,
Francesco

Hello Pulp friends :)

If you thought that our little trip to Constantinople was going to be a Travelocity commercial, well you were wrong. As you can see in today's episode, these cats are not kidding.
And they have claws! ;)

Hope you enjoy the show and I will see you for the date next week :)

Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday everyone!

Cheers,
Francesco
