The Dark Ledger
Feb 8th
The boundless depths of Chris Mullen’s VTS site continue to yield treasures. The documentation for these pictures is somewhat vague but they seem to be illustrations for Fantômas stories which Mullen has grouped under the title The Dark Ledger, part of a larger selection of pages devoted to the Lord of Evil. The depiction of the Eiffel Tower is of interest here for its showing a view over one of the Paris expositions, possibly the Exposition Universelle of 1900. The opium den, on the other hand, seems remarkably overlit and well-appointed compared to the more customary renderings of such places.

Torpedo 1916-1926
Feb 4th
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
Feb 3rd
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
