Image Comics Announces 1930s-Era Western Original Graphic Novel in, PULP
December 3, 2019The creative duo of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips are bringing their original graphic novel, a 1930s-inspired crime thriller, Pulp, to Image Comics.
The story centers on a 1930s pulp writer, Max Winters, who finds himself drawn into a story unlike any he’s written before. Will Winters be able to dispense justice with a six-shooter in the Wild West in pursuing bank robbers, Nazi spies and enemies from his past?
“When Sean and I decided to do something completely new for our next original graphic novel, he planted the idea of a Western in my head … And I found myself drawn to the era where that genre first hit big—the pulp magazines and the Great Depression,” said Brubaker. “I thought about all these writers telling fictionalized versions of the vanishing days of the Wild West, as their own world was going through one of its darkest hours … And suddenly, I realized I had the makings of a really great pulp story, but one set in the real world. A story that I really wanted to tell.”
Pulp lands in comic shops on Wednesday, May 20, 2020, and in bookstores on May 26.
