The WIP cover for MEN'S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY #13 coming soon. It's a curated selection of seductive sadistic siren stories and art for what we like to call "Fatal Femmes." You'll also get select articles and Gal-leries about the MAMs and the pulp culture they influenced. Look for it in November.

A fraternity brother gifted me these classic EXECUTIONER #paperbacks this past weekend. I am one overjoyed mad pulp bastard. #mackbolan #pulp #mensadventure

Why yes! This next issue of Men's Adventure Quarterly - our 13th! - will be both seductive and savage. Get ready for "Fatal Femmes!" #pulp #mensadventure #paperbacks #filmnoir #comics #pulpculture

A new beginning... #PiKappaPhi #Beta

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

My local paper since 1885. 20 pages of news/ads for $1. Often free as advertisers get comps they set out for customers. LCA has 5000 subs and also print other biz's pubs on their own 8-unit Color King press. Now apply this to #comics. Remember #ComicShopNews ? (more)

@pulpcurry.bsky.social you may want to check this out if you haven't already. Ditto @jauntworksstudio.bsky.social and other #filmnoir fans. Music by @calibro35.bsky.social

Sam Raimi's first horror movie in 15 years. Trailer here: youtu.be/R4wiXj9NmEE?

If you don't understand this reference you're either: - too young - too normal - don't watch any British television

Stylistic design choices for The Shadow. #ShadowStyle

HOT TAKE: This is how the next #BATMAN movie should look...

The reason for the profile post on SECRET AGENT X last week was the fact we are showcasing a story by writer Paul Chadwick (aka "Brant House") in the next issue of MEN'S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY. PC wrote for #pulps, #MAMs, and paperbacks - a pulp culture trifecta! Intro by #PaperbackWarrior

Read, and better yet, subscribe... your pulp culture education demands it.

I ❤️ SERIES PAPERBACKS! Here's the seven 1960s pulp reprints by porn publisher Corinth. Written by Paul Chadwick under the house name of "Brant House" the original 1930s series was given a new mod look by cover illustration great Robert Bonfils. (more)

Thanks to Jim Rugg, I have discovered spy-adventurer comic LEO DEREK. A timeless relic of the 80s before its time. Gorgeous NEWSPRINT in a large format magazine. You need to get it here: www.powerpulpcomics.com #indiecomics #pulpcomics #leoderek

One of the 2-page spreads I am working on for the upcoming 13th issue of MEN'S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY. Given the recent kerfuffle of Amazon sanitizing the guns out of their James Bond thumbnail images, I thought it appropriate.

With the arrival of today's mail I am 12 again. Courtesy @atomicpulp.bsky.social Get yours here: www.indyplanet.com

Would this work with our Cinexploits! line of books? A film festival with the movies we have explored? Odd cinema, exploitation, SciFi, Action, etc...

You've heard the term, "stay in your lane?" Never more true than now. Stay in your lane. Honk your horn. Wave at others beside you in their lanes.

Revisiting this serial for research, and development on something I am exploring with @wcmartell.bsky.social. I would not be opposed to seeing more of this sort of pulp entertainment on my TV, Computer, and Phone.

I wish this movie had received more airtime than it did. A wonderful tribute to Alex Raymond's comic strip that didn't try to update Flash, but leaned into and polished up his 1930s aesthetic.

The final Atomic Action retro comic, SLEUTH COMICS #2, with art by @shanepatrickwhite.bsky.social and @markstegbauerl.bsky.social & 3 variant covers, is on sale now at the link below. www.indyplanet.com

Just got my contributor copies! GO CRAZY 8! #Indiepublisher #indiebooks #Scifi #Indiescifi

Or, they could take a page out of my playbook and move to Laurens, SC.

One of my many jobs as a mad pulp bastard is to help filmmakers market their films in ways that a) draw eyeballs to their film(s), and b) draw eyeballs to their brand. I have created a line of #filmbooks - Cinexploits! - which feature the script, interviews, notes, stills, designs, and more.

Two more redesigned work-in-progress pages from the upcoming MEN'S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY #13.

Another page redesign for MAQ #13: Fatal Femmes. I added the color, replaced the title font with something a bit more lurid and exploitative. Making it blood red leaned into that whole vibe. The story is by Paul Chadwick with the interior art uncredited in REAL MEN's May 1969 issue.

Coming in November... a must-have for your cinema library. www.amazon.com/Hard-Boiled-...

Here's a story in our upcoming MAQ 13: Fatal Femmes by Mario Cleri (aka Mario Puzo), illustrated by Bruce Minney. Fortunately, we had the original color painting, and I was able to use that to redesign from... The story originally appeared in the September 1969 issue of ACTION FOR MEN.

The Deluxe Edition of STEVE HOLLAND: The World's Greatest Illustration Art Model is fully funded! We are now at the $8K stretch goal w/ a slipcase I designed with Robert Maguire's stunning art for THE SPIDER reboot in the 1970s. Please spread the word: www.kickstarter.com/.../stradfor...?

Take a journey into the fantastic future of 1999 with my celebratory retrospective of Space: 1999!

Coming soon from Arrow Video: SPAWN, MS. 45, and IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (which sports new artwork by @ffrancavilla.bsky.social ). 😉

Pulp inspiration...

Received this book today VHS DREAMS from Beyond The Streets on Ghana's "Mobile Cinemas" and the artwork they created to promote same. The guerilla distribution style brings a smile to my face. #vhs #moviedistribution #mobilecinema beyondthestreets.com/products/dea...

Feeling a bit down?

From the upcoming MAQ 13 - "Fatal Femmes" comes these three work-in-progress layouts. We have four more to go from names you will recognize.

Freaky Friday...

Oh no! There goes Tokyo! Go, Go Godzilla!

I have never seen this movie, but it strikes me as a title I would have been drawn to back in the #VHS era. Coming from Blue Underground.

Your Daily Dracula – Terence Stamp, Dracula (Shaftesbury Theatre, 1978)

I forgot to mention it's "Soowatch! Sunday."

@jasonmcnamara.bsky.social - It's here! @johnrogers.bsky.social , @markwaid.bsky.social - this is what I was thinking oh those many SDCCs ago. Horizon(tal) Comics. #comics #kickstarter #PhantomLimbs

If you were at this year's PulpFest, you saw a sneak preview of paperback guru Gary Lovisi's SEXY DIGESTS. Published long ago in B&W, I am making it a full color hardcover and softcover. Gary's classic zine PAPERBACK PARADE is coming to Amazon so that readers worldwide can buy and enjoy it.

This is how you know you're at #PulpFest

As I have been telling everyone this weekend, I am working with the fine folks at Shogun on a project for your upcoming trick-or-treat bags. #Helloween.

Our table at #Pulpfest ...

Coming in September:

"Mr. Vaughn, what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that's all. Now, why don't you take a long, close look at this sign. Those proportions are correct." All shot using real figures & miniatures
