GARRISON #2 & GREEN HORNET Y1 #3

~~ Click on the above and below images for BIGGER views ~~

Hello guys,

It's comicbook day and I have a couple of suggestion for ya ;)

First, WildStorm's GARRISON #2 (of 6), my and Jeff Mariotte's new creator owned title (and as such it has a special place in my heart :)). Above is an exclusive preview of the first 6 pages just to give a glimpse of the rollercoaster action you guys are gonna get from now until the explosive issue 6 (which concludes the mini).
A huge thanks to all of you who picked up issue 1 and helped spread the good word about it. Hope to see you and many more picking up issue 2: this is gonna be FUN! :)

Second, Dynamite's GREEN HORNET YEAR ONE #3, by Matt Wagner and Aaron Campbell and me at the coloring duties. Below you can see a preview of the pages and the 2 covers (one by yours truly :))
Some really good PULP fun (I know you guys like that) so make sure to pick this up as well while you are in the shop :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Hello Pulp friends :)

the first issue of my new co-creator owned Wildstorm mini is finally out: the adventure begins!
Hope you guys give this book a chance and I hope you will like what you'll see so to come back for issue 2 and the next issue (total of 6 issues, not that many ;))
To celebrate the release, here's page 1 of issue 2 (no spoilers included ;)) in its ink stage before it got to colors and letters. (below)

GARRISON is Coming!

Hello Pulp friends :)

with issue 3 being solicited in April Previews (you can see cover & solicitation also on the Wildstorm website), I thought to put together another little teaser (using actual panels from issue 3) of my new creator owned mini GARRISON coming out next month.
Even if fully packed with action (Jeff Mariotte had me drawing more action in these 6 issues than I have drawn in all my other books ;)) and set in a slightly near future (a few years from now), the story has all the pulpy noirish qualities we love so much: a hero with a mysterious past, femme fatales and femmes with guns, spies, and murders!
Hope you guys check the mini out and help me spread the word: this is gonna be a fun ride, I promise you.
And it's all done (I finished the mini in 2009) so you know you will get your fix monthly without interruptions :) You can't beat that! ;)

Cheers,
Francesco

Let the action begin!

Hello Pulp friends :)

I know this is not "PULP" in the traditional way but it's definitely gonna be PULP in its themes (babes, bullets, and lots of bad guys). Plus this is what I have been working on in the last few months (the mini is almost completed - working on the last issue), so I hope you all will forgive me if I pimp it a little in here.

The big news is that there is finally (and officially) a preview of the GARRISON covers and artwork over at the Wildstorm Blog.
The great news is that I will be doing some signings at the WS booth during SDCC in a couple of weeks, and we will be giving away big size postcards with the above teaser poster I just did for teasing about the upcoming mini.
So, if you plan to attend SD, make sure to stop by and say hi (and for those who can't, I am going to save a few postcards ;))

Now head to the WS blog and lemme know what you think of GARRISON :)

Have a great 4th July everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

GARRISON

So, the news is finally out, even if was half hidden in a small blurb (about the recent Phoenix Con) on the Newsarama blog.
I can finally reveal what I have been working on since beginning of the new year (and still working on it as I type this): it's GARRISON, a creator-owned 6 issue mini from Jeff Mariotte and me that will published by Wildstorm pretty soon (I hope ;)).
The pitch? In Jeff's words: "It's a near-future action epic about the most dangerous man in the world, Lester Garrison, who happens to look like someone you'd find at the tractor pull on Friday night."

Jeff is not kidding when talking about action: I think it's the most action packed book I have drawn to date (and my past books had lots of action in them anyway), plus other cool, noirish, and hi-tech elements related to a colossal manhunt.
This book is anything but boring, I can promise you that :)

I can't show any of the artowrk yet, not until we get the ok to show by DC Comics, but you can trust me when I say this is gonna be a really fun ride :)

Cheers,
Francesco
