TALES FROM THE END OF THE WORLD

TALES FROM THE END OF THE WORLD #1 Cover
~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

   some time ago I was asked by the Spanish publisher NORMA Editorial if I wanted to draw a cover for their upcoming Horror anthology titled TALES FROM THE END OF THE WORLD.
   "We would like something int he vein of the classic EC covers and we think you would be perfect for it", they said.
   Of course, they had me at "in the vein of EC covers" ;)

   The result is the above cover, where I didn't just draw the art, but I also hand drew the logo/title, the text TERROR on the side bar, and the inset circled-art teasing some of the tales included int he anthology.

   Hope you guys enjoy this cover as much as Norma did :)

   Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday and Happy Easter, everyone!

Cheers,
Francesco

ROBOT TERROR!

MARS ATTACKS! #6 Cover
~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

   Inspired by the COLONIZED cover I posted this past Sunday, I decided to make this a ALIENS WEEK! So expect to see Martians (and other creatures from Outer Space) to land right here on Pulp Sunday all this week.

   Today we showcase those bad bad Martians from the classic TOPPS' MARS ATTACKS, which is having a revival as comicbook series thanks to IDW.
   I was asked to do a variant cover for #6 and had the option to be inspired by the classic set of cards by participating to the "30 seconds later" initiative. Pretty self-explanatory, the cover has to happen 30 seconds later of any of the scenes from the original cards.
   I went with ROBOT TERROR, (card #32) because, ya know, Aliens and Robots! :D

   Below the original card from the 50s, and above my 30 seconds later (and cover for #6).

 
FUN!

Check back for more Aliens Week!

Cheers,
Francesco

COLONIZED!

THE COLONIZED #4 Cover
~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

It has been a while I haven't featured some good ole Sci-Fi art here on the blog.
I am very happy to fix that by sharing this recent Var Cover I did for Chris Ryall's and Drew Moss' "THE COLONIZED", their sci-fi book that is an homage to classic '50s genere book featuring (get ready) ZOMBIES VS ALIENS! :D
FUN!
Issue 4 (with this cover) will be on sale in June from IDW.

Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday, everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco
