Max Winters, a pulp writer in 1930s New York, finds himself drawn into a story not unlike the tales he churns out at 5 cents a word – tales of a wild west outlaw dispensing justice with a six-gun. But will Max be able to do the same, when pursued by bank robbers, Nazi spies, and enemies from his past?
One part thriller, one part meditation on a life of violence, PULP is unlike anything the award-winning team of BRUBAKER and PHILLIPS have ever done. A celebration of pulp fiction, set in a world on the brink. And another must-have hardback from one of comics most-acclaimed teams.
“Thrilling… VERDICT Eisner Award winners Brubaker and Phillips (Kill or Be Killed Deluxe Edition), joined by artist Jacob Phillips (Cruel Summer), continue their streak as the best team in comics, delivering more intrigue and wonderfully developed, memorable characters in 72 pages than most creators can manage in twice as many.”

A savage satire reuniting the critically acclaimed team behind DC’s The Flintstones—writer Mark Russell (SECOND COMING) and artist Steve Pugh (Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass)—in a new graphic novel.
