Today's pulp character is Francesco Francavilla's Black Beetle, the eponymous star of the
new ongoing Dark Horse series. I've been a fan of Francesco since I first saw his work
on his blog, and I've been lucky enough to become friends with him over the past few years while living in Atlanta. I couldn't be happier at the overwhelming reception that BB has received, and it's been a joyous thing to see such great art and fun subject matter get the attention that I believe it deserves. It's also got a great villain - Labyrintho!
If you haven't read
The Black Beetle yet, the issues for the first storyline -
No Way Out - are all out and available (find 'em on paper OR digitally through the Dark Horse app), and you should really give it a go. The hardcover trade collection is due out on October 29th. I'll probably be picking mine up from
Acme Comics in Greensboro, NC, while I'm there for
Comic Book City Con!
Seriously, read this comic.
The original art for this one is available for sale. 8.5x11," ink on 80# stock, shipped the Tuesday after purchase. First come, first serve.
SOLD!
Man, BB went fast.
