~~ Click on the above and below images for the preview ~~

Hello guys,

Black Panther TMWF #514 come out yesterday and early reviews are all agreeing: this new arc of Hell's Kitchen is a good one :)
For those who enjoy the "making of" I am posting some layouts from issue 513 (click on the above image).
Click on the below image for a 9 pages preview plus cover. Hope you guys pick up the book an enjoy the read :)




Here's MARVEL solicts for it:

Luke Cage guest stars as T'Challa's new adventure in NYC continues!

The former King of Wakanda has sworn to protect the mean streets of Hell's Kitchen, and while battling the mob is one thing, how does he stop a killer targeting innocent people?

It's a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, as T'Challa hunts ruthless new crime lord Vlad the Impaler, while Vlad concocts a desperate and bloody scheme to entrap the mysterious new vigilante that's ruining his plans.

T'Challa learns what it really means to be a man without fear.

Green Hornet Year One #12 & Lone Ranger/Zorro #1 Covers

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

Let's start a new year of pulp goodness with a double cover post that we can safely title: "Family Business" :)
Above is the cover for issue 12 of Matt Wagner's Green hornet Year One, which concludes the second arc of this critically acclaimed tale of the first year of operation of the GH and Kato.
And to keep it in the "family" the second cover (below) is for Green Hornet's gran gran pa: The Lone Ranger, here in the first crossover with another favorite of mine (and yours): Zorro.

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~
The crossover is a 4 issue mini written by Ande Parks and titled, sadly, "Death of Zorro". Don Diego is here in his late 60s and will ask for Lone Ranger help when things go bad.
Since Dynamite solicited the book, I read a lot of people thinking this mini means no more ZORRO YEAR ONE.
No worries, this is a completely different story, and last time I talked with Matt, he is still planning to pick up from were we left in issue 14. Zorro Year One is on hiatus but is not over :)

Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

"Blood on Christmas" - A Short Crime Tale by Francesco Francavilla

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

hope you all are having a joyful time with your families and friends during these holidays :)
As promised early this week, here's a full complete story, a silent tale in the tradition of LULLUBY and my recent FURY and JONAH HEX short tales.
Some of you will remember this story: originally aired here on Pulp Sunday in December 2007, in a strip format, I am re-airing today in re-mastered first-time-in-color version, and in a comic format.
Hope you all enjoy what I consider a "Margot Year Zero" tale: yep, the girl in the story is what will become the future assistant of Lamont Creston/The SHADOW! :)

Have a Pulp Sunday everyone! :)
