Max Winters, a pulp writer in 1930s New York, finds himself drawn into a story not unlike the tales he churns out at five 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 award-winning BRUBAKER & PHILLIPS have ever done before. This celebration of pulp fiction set in a world on the brink is another must-have hardcover from one of comics' most acclaimed teams
Much like its pulp western references, this graphic novel moves along, punctuated with occasional acts of violence and threaded with a laconic narration that offers just enough skeletal past to explain the protagonist and his current journey. The depiction of pre-WWII hidden and public Nazi sympathies by Americans make this an educational, disturbing, and unfortunately timely read.
Yesssss, more Brubaker/Philips.
