Pulp, by Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips, with Jacob Phillips (Image Comics, 2020)

August 10, 2020 ~ Eamonn ~ Leave a comment

A former Wild West thief, now an elderly writer for the pulps, considers one last heist. Excellent, elegiac genre piece which touches on a wide range of themes: mortality, regret, ageing, being left behind by a changing world. Recommended.
