Three valiant humans -- Flash Gordon, Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov -- are plucked from the Earth, traveling to the distant planet Mongo. Their exploits are legendary, battling the machinations and terror schemes of the dreaded emperor Ming, the All-Seeing Ruler of Mongo. But they did not fight alone...

Hello Pulp Friends,

Sorry I missed posting this past Sunday but I was in Baltimore for the Comicon (speaking of which, the show was fantastic and I had a wonderful time meeting lots of people and sketching no-stop all weekend :))

To make up for the lack of Sunday post, here's a Tuesday one with the first cover of a book that does not need any introduction: FLASH GORDON :D
The series will be published by Dynamite Enterntainment and I will eb providing the variant covers.
Saying that I am very excited about working on such icon is an understatement.
Hope you guys dig my forst cover above :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Hello Pulp Friends,

A little Swamp Thing B/W warm-up (or Esercizio in Bianco e Nero, if we want to make it sound more fancy ;)) I did this morning before working on some Panther pages. I am very excited to be starting working on Swamp Thing pages later this month: can't wait to sink my teeth into Scott Snyder's script! :)

Cheers,
Francesco
