Lobster Johnson
I almost missed this! I saw the issues in my comic store last week and picked up all but #2. I'm on the hunt for #2 now cause #1 was everything a pulp comic should be.
Huge hairy monsters, Nazis, subterranean hideouts, Chinatown, electro blasters, cannibals, .45's, this story has it all. Get thee to a comic shop before it's too late!
Need a pilot for your Pulp game? Call Jimmie Angel.
A real life Pilot and adventurer (with a name thats 100% Pulp hero). This guy's life would make a great movie.
More about Jimmie here.
Thanks to NJ Harman for the tip on Jimmie.
And lets say your team of adventurers hire Jimmie and you all somehow you find your way to that “Lost Plateau” who better to greet your players than:
Gotta thank Trollsmyth for that one.
You can never have too many pulp blogs:
And here's another good one:
And checking out Christopher's blog will lead you to Planet X
Does this cover just kick ass or what?
And while we are talking comics, lets wrap this week up with a freebie.
I love Tim Truman's art. I loved his Scout and Spider stories in the 80's and I love his work on Conan now.
And that is your Pulp Thursday report!
Lobster Johnson is a brilliant, brilliant piece of work. I'm loving the whole fakebackstoryness of it. And no, it's not a real word. But it should be.
ReplyDeleteGosh, if only someone -- say, someone right here in the comments on this blog here -- had recommended Lobster Johnson to you when it first came out. Pity. If only you had loyal readers -- like, say, bald headed geeks -- who constantly scanned their comic book shelves looking for pulp stories you might like, and then told you about them. Oh what a wonderful day that would be! Specifically, what a wonderful October 25, 2007 that would be. Then you wouldn't have to go hunting for back issues because you'd have them as they come out.
ReplyDeleteOh well, a bald guy can dream, can't he?
Glad you're digging the Lobster. Pity the run is done, but hopefully he'll make more cameos in BPRD or Hellboy.

PFFFT!
WELL...I ahem...I'll have you know that on or about October 25th I was under the influence of very heavy medication, following a near fatal car accident. not only was I diagnosed with Severe spinal stenosis, I was also barely lucid. And lest we forget the brain tumor eh? So let's have a little sympathy for the EDM huh?
Why I oughtta...
My pleasure! Been a fan of Keegan's work since I was lucky enough to meet him at AggieCon a few years back.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the link to "Perils on Planet X". Very cool lookin' stuff! :D
The 5th and final issue of Lobster Johnson is out ... I was away for 7 weeks, but I think it came out this week (1/16/8). You may want to wait a few weeks until they collect it in atrade paperback.
