OT: The Black Beetle

Here's a glimpse of a Francavilla-drawn Lobster Johnson:

I just thought. Francesco would be the most perfect choice ever for either a LoJo or Baltimore one-shot.

Or anything Hellboy related really, the guy's art just oozes atmosphere and that's really the selling point of any Mignola story.

While investigating a mysterious mass murder that leveled Colt City’s mob bosses, Black Beetle gets wrapped up in a puzzling maze of clues. Could the appearance of a costumed criminal named Labyrinto be related to the destruction of the powerful organized-crime racket?

March 20

Under the watchful gaze of the mysterious Labyrinto, Black Beetle fights for his life! Is this the doing of a man that Black Beetle thought was dead? Could a zombie mobster be commanding the foes of Colt City’s dark avenger?! If he survives the night, the investigative insect will be left with questions to ponder as he takes his investigation . . . to the morgue!

Editor Jim Gibbons talks about why you should check out The Black Beetle on the Dark Horse blog.

I told local comics shop owner order the hell out of Black Beetle for me. Francavilla i have been a big fan for a while and i buy everything of his on his name only.

Am I the only one confused because of the DC Black Beetle? Is that copyright infringement? Besides that, it looks pretty damn good. I checked it out in DHP and it certainly seemed quality.

DC's is the Blue Beetle isn't it? Anyway, this Black Beetle looks way better. Love the artwork...

I got #0 issue few days ago from the shop and it was awesome to read all the 3 small chapters that was in DHP in one issue. It was my first real taste of Black Beetle and the amazing art and the fact he is a true pulp hero that shoots the bad guys death with his gun gave goose bumbs. Francavilla has grown alot in short time, his art looks even better than his Detective comics issues, Captain America issues.

Looks like the great Jordi Bernet in Torpedo that art!
