Pulp

Another very entertaining crime caper from Ed Brubaker, nicely complemented by atmospheric artwork.

Fantastic work from the best comic book writers around at the moment. Pulp opens in 1930s America, NY, a former cowboy is now churning out stories for the pulp books. His publisher is tight fisted, and a bit of a dingus. From there, we move into a crime, which gets side tracked, and.. well, the story moves quickly, and is very easy to digest in one sitting as the story is so well edited and tightly plotted. A joy to read, and so great I want more in this series!

A former Wild West thief, now an elderly writer for the pulps, considers one last heist. Excellent, elegiac genre piece which touches on a wide range of themes: mortality, regret, ageing, being left behind by a changing world. Recommended.

A great comic by consistently confident creators. comics. Read more
