Max Winters, a pulp writer in 1930s New York, finds himself drawn into a story not unlike the tales he churns out at five cents a word-tales of a Wild West outlaw dispensing justice with a six-gun. This title will hit stores from Image Comics in May. The multiple Eisner Award winning creative powerhouse behind such hits as My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies and Bad Weekend-Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips-spin an original graphic novel tale of ’30s era crime in the forthcoming Pulp. Personally, I’m game for whatever format this duo wants to keep working in, providing they continue what has been one of the longest and most fruitful collaborations in comics for a while now.Īnyway, full PR about the new book can be found below: In addition, the duo spun what is basically a stand-alone OGN out of their monthly Criminal comic, with Bad Weekend. This will be their second original graphic novel, with the first being My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies, which arrived in October 2018.
This also marks a continued push to making self-contained graphic novels for Brubaker and Phillips, versus the monthly direct market comics medium they have long worked within. And like Criminal, the book is being billed as a meditation on violence and depravity. Like Bad Weekend, it seems likely to give them metafictional material that speaks to those of us who are deeply immersed in the past and culture of comics. Like The Fade Out, it’s set in a bygone media era that is oft-romanticized. With this in mind, Pulp is perhaps the intersection of a few different topics Brubaker and Phillips have tackled in the past. It features a story set in 1930s New York City, and a protagonist that is a writer for the pulp novels that inspired many comics back in the day and continue to do so.
Publisher Image Comics announced the OGN Tuesday morning. Pulp, which is an original graphic novel due out in May, is the newest project from long-time comics collaborators writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips.
