MOONRAKER

~ Click on the above images for wide screen size ~

Hello Pulp Friends,

A couple of days ago the Shuttle Atlantis took off for the last mission of the Space Shuttle program. Being a huge fan of this NASA program (and of the Shuttles) and being also a huge fan of Bond (an old aquaintance for our Pulp Sunday blog) I thought to tribute the last mission with a classic Bond movie: MOONRAKER!
I wish I had time to draw Jaws and Drax too. Will save them for the next MOONRAKER tribute :)

Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday everyone!

Cheers,
Francesco

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

Here's my third cover for WARLORD OF MARS - FALL OF BARSOOM series. This is definitely my favorite so far: it really came out like something you would find in an old trunk in the attic, doesn't it? :)
Hope you guys dig it too as much as I do.

Here's the solicits for this issue 3:
WARLORD OF MARS: FALL OF BARSOOM #3
Written by Robert Place Napton
Art by Roberto Castro
Covers by JOE JUSKO & FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA

General Van Tun Bor leads the survivors of Thark on a perilous exodus across the Red desert. The once proud race of Orovars are reduced to the survival of the fittest as the tide of barbarism begins to sweep across the face of Barsoom. At the Atmosphere Plant, Scientist Tak Nan Lee and the Red Martian Anouk face unexpected danger from Anouk's own people! The tale of Barsoom set 100,000 years before the time of John Carter continues!

Have a wonderful PULP SUNDAY everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

The Swamp Thing!

Click on the image for the larger BIG POSTER!!! ;)


Hello Pulp Friends,

This has been announced a week ago or so all over the web, but I wanted to officially announce it here on Pulp Sunday, so here we go :)

I am part of the new creative team, along with writer extraordinaire Scott Snyder and supertalented artist Yanick Paquette, behind the re-launch of DC's SWAMP THING in September. We are adopting the same formula used in Detective, with Yanick taking care of the main story and me alternating art chores with him on issues that will tie in with the main story.

All I can say is that I am VERY excited to be part of this. I love Scott's writing, that's no secret, and I love the Swamp Thing. I have been a huge fan of Bernie Wrightson since forever, so working on his creation is one of those dreams come true :)

So, come September, make sure to pick up a copy of the new Swamp Thing: Scott, Yanick, and I are cooking a special Cajun dish for y'all :)

Meanwhile I hope you guys enjoy the above little portrait of our beloved guy :)

Cheers,
Francesco
