![]() Brubaker’s dialogue breathes life into his characters while Phillips’ art fleshes out the world. The closest comparison I could make would be a Scorcese film perfectly encapsulated in comic form. I grew up watching westerns with my dad, so for this book to blend a western story into an engaging crime narrative instantly grabbed my attention and did not let go.īrubaker’s writing paired with Phillips’ art crafts an almost cinematic experience. The book intertwines Max’s struggle to find his place in society with the stories of outlaws he writes in the “Six Gun Western” magazine. ![]() Pulp’s overarching narrative follows Max, a retired outlaw seeking the solace of a quiet life in 1930s New York. As a relative neophyte to their works, this book served as my first foray into Brubaker’s seedy underbelly of society, and I found all the praises well-deserved. Pulp is no different, as the creative duo deliver an exceptional entry into their ever-expanding repertoire of standalone graphic novels. Their collaborations on series such as Criminal and Kill or Be Killed, alongside several OGNs such as My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies and Bad Weekend, have earned their place among some of the greatest works in the crime comics genre. By Benjamin Morin - The prestige of a new Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips OGN should instantly capture any reader’s attention. ![]()
