The U.S.R.A. Wants You!

For Day 3 of Giant Robot Week I came up with this ad from the 40s for the U.S.R.A. (United States Robot Army).
Who doesn't want to become a pilot of a 65 ft tall robot anyway? ;)

Hope you guys are enjoying the series :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Giant Robot Week Day 2.
"Rob O Dawn" (with the big O ;))
Played a bit on the Red Dawn concept, and give it an old movie poster feel to it. Hope you all dig it :)

Hello Pulp Friends,

I am currently working on two (2!) comicbook projects I am not allowed to talk about yet.
So, yeah, this is some pre-production design work I did for one of them. A little sneak peek to you all friends of Pulp Sunday of things to come (very soon) :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Those Darn Hatfield Kids!

Hello Pulp Friends,

Decided to celebrate this 4th July with one of the most "Americana" piece I have done in comics, clearly inspired by the great Norman Rockwell.
This was a cover for a short story I did back in 2006, and recently collected in the Image anthology "Tales of the Starlight Drive-in" (all tales were written by the talented Mike Sangiacomo).

Happy 4th of July, everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Have a great pulpy holiday!

Cheers,
Francesco
