This is a commission I drew for HeroesCon.

HeroesCon has become one of my favorite comics-related events. I describe the show as a “comic book show”. A lot of comic conventions are not comic book shows. They are pop culture or art events, but Heroes is a show that reflects a lot of my personal tastes when it comes to comics.

I’d like to thank all of the organizers, volunteers, fellow exhibitors, and attendees for contributing to such a positive experience. What a great show!

How about some Umbrella Academy Cosplay Gifs?

There are few things as exciting and satisfying as a well-crafted crime comic. How do writers manage to keep up the tension, and avoid the oft-used clichés? Greg Rucka (Whiteout), Jason Latour (Loose Ends), and Jason Aaron (Scalped) sit down for interrogation by Vito Delsante. Let’s hope these writers don’t plead the 5th. Recorded June 8, 2013 at the Charlotte Convention Center, Charlotte NC.

SUPER EXCITED to announce my very first Black Beetle Mondo poster!

These screenprinted posters are 24”x36” and very limited. I will have a large portion of the variant edition (pictured above) for sale at Heroes Con in Charlotte this Saturday (please follow my twitter feed @f_francavilla or Mondo’s feed @MondoNews for details about time and location of the drop - the drop will not happen in Artist Alley at my table).

I am saving a small portion of the prints for an online sale to give chance to those who can’t attend the show to get one. These are variants and slightly more expensive than the regular edition.

Mondo will put the regular edition (225) on sale sometime after the show, so that also is a good chance to get your hands on one of these beauties.

A little reminder than The Black Beetle NO WAY OUT #4 (conclusion of the first mini) will be on sale next week, June 12th. Get on it! :)

FF

Here’s the official Mondo press release:

TITLE: The Black Beetle
ARITST: Francesco Francavilla
SIZE: 24” x 36”
EDITION: 225 (regular), 110 (variant)
PRICE: $55 (regular), $75 (variant)

The Black Beetle is centered on a pulp-noir character and takes place in a fictional universe that’s based in Colt City. The character debuted on the pages of Pulp Sunday, Francesco Francavilla’s blog devoted to all things pulp, and had a brief life as webcomic before stepping in the print world with an ashcan first, and on the pages of Dark Horse Presents anthology later. Francesco quickly realized that many fans were interested in exploring this world with him, so soon after the short run in DHP, a new 4-issue mini - titled “NO WAY OUT” - was released. The first 2 issues have sold out and have required DH to go back to press for a second printing.

With issue 4 coming out next week and with the first hardcover volume - also titled “NO WAY OUT” - available for pre-orders right now, there is no better time to jump on board of the fantastic adventures of The Black Beetle.

The Black Beetle is a Detective/Vigilante SuperHero – His mission is to fight crime in Colt City. We don’t know who he is, not yet anyway. We do know that he has access to some advantaged technology and that he is patrolling the city streets and protecting the citizens the best he can. He is –after all- one man. Colt City is a fictional city set in the late ’40s America on the East Coast and has a very “pulp” vibe to the city’s depiction and inhabitants.

Commenting on his collaboration with Mondo, Francavilla said, “I’ve been a huge fan of Mondo for a while, and I’ve recently become one of their poster artists (which brings me joy all the time), so you can only imagine how happy I was when I heard that they were a big fan of my creation, The Black Beetle. From there it didn’t take too long to get to the poster you see here. Hopefully it’s just the first of many. Hope you guys enjoy the poster and consider jumping on the books as well: they are what comics should be: 100% entertainment and FUN!Thanks again, Mondo, for making this happen.”

I made 3 prints of my Afrodisiac vs. Moby Dick drawing. I will have these at Heroes. If you want one, please inquire. Due to their size (36” x 48”), they won’t be on display.
