Learning about the work and life of Portuguese comics artist Jayme Cortez. These two volumes from Korero Press are on Amazon, and you should get them.
Watched THE RINGER yesterday based on the Edgar Wallace thriller. Great British quota film directed by Guy Hamilton. Co-stars William Hartnell (DOCTOR WHO) and others. A notorious master of disguise returns to the UK to get revenge on Herbert Lom (PINK PANTHER), a slimy lawyer for crooks.
WHY IS THIS MAN SMILING? Because he just received his copy of MAQ+! You can get yours by attending #Pulpfest or purchasing one of our books from MensPulpMags.com. We will have some for sale by mail after the show. Details forthcoming. @bobdeis.bsky.social
The Capitol Theatre and Cafe is available for rent in Laurens, SC so I guess I must figure out a #filmfestival or #midnightmovie marathon. This could get pulpy.
It's here! Read about our little experiment here: open.substack.com/pub/billcunn...
I ordered a fresh supply of Field Notes notebooks, and as a bonus they sent me this "Armed Services Edition" replica of The Maltese Falcon. I now find they have 67 more titles! (I may have to get them all). www.fieldnotesbrand.com #pulp #publishing #boutiquebooks
A new #comics publisher wants to launch a line of #comics, but wants the reader to understand immediately what sort of comic they are buying based on the TITLE alone. PLEASE MATCH THEM UP. He wants to avoid any possible confusion as they are NOT doing #superheroes. #newcomics #publishing #Genre
Three down. One in the pipeline, and one more in development. Over 60 years of work... Ladies & Gentlemen welcome to The Art of Ron Lesser.
And in case you wondering how to spot me at the show, all you need do is look for these banners! (plus a couple more to be sure). I look forward to seeing you there! #pulpfest #pulpfiction #events #publishing #RonLesser #artbook #MAQmag #MensAdventureQuarterly #westernart
Sparking new design ideas this morning for a variety of clients including myself. For a tabloid comic, for a hardcover book, and for a book cover.
Just arrived! HELLOWEEN: TBOTM is available worldwide on #Amazon. Just type "B0H4Q7LLMY" into your local Amazon Search engine. 208 pages of stuff you don't learn in #FilmSchool about how to make a commercial motion picture in today's market. Movie from Shogun Films.
@severinfilms.bsky.social goes for the jugular with this set of Jimmy Sangster's directorial contributions to the #HammerHorror legacy. This is one of those deep dives into HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN, LUST FOR A VAMPIRE, and FEAR IN THE NIGHT. Lots of bonus features including a #paperback!
Who here will be attending #PulpFest2026 at the end of July? Shout out! #pulp #comics #movies #nostalgia #Pittsburgh
ARROW VIDEO UK is launching a new #video label TOY ROBOT VIDEO. They are starting with a 2-disc release of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. This looks like fun, and is sorely needed in the #physicalmedia space... and it sparks some ideas.
Just arrived and taking pride of place in the pulp library... shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params...
Dear Comickers, this is how it's done... comments in the alt text. #comics #covers #comicbooks #JoeKubert #design #comicart
PLS. SHARE - Please lobby @amazonkdp.bsky.social to create an 8.5"x8.5" HARDCOVER option that mimics their paperback option. They have several hardcover options EXCEPT for the 8.5" x 8.5" #AmazonKDP #publishing #printing #books #hardcover I have more pulpy fun in mind...
Today's visual inspiration for something I'm working on...
Fedex just dropped this off. Now you know how to find me at Pulpfest this year...
Reviewing the print proof today and preparing myself for a #headdesk afternoon. Three down, one more to go for sure. Another in the dugout.
@716film.bsky.social w/ Sybil Danning at #Monsterpalooza She starred in #RogerCorman's epic BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, which Allan edited. He also kept a diary - the basis for CELLULOID WARS: The Making of Battle Beyond The Stars. CW2: The Making of Forbidden World is in Allan's hand. Check Amazon.
HELLOWEEN: THE BOOK OF THE MOVIE is nearly here. Print proofing underway...
Contemplate if you will, a DARK SHADOWS cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera...
