Pulp Girls

Hey, just thought I'd post something for folks dropping by here... Things have been pretty quiet on the Pulp Girls front for a while, but I'm still developing it moving forward, with love and insanity, so please stay patient, and stay tuned to this space. Follow the blog, like the Facebook page, follow the twitter... wait what's that? Oh, sorry, I really should create those :) But you CAN follow the blog, over on the side there, and I will create the social network things too. In the meantime, to get your fix of girl pulp action, pick up the 2010 preview books if you haven't (the 2009 preview books have now completely sold out), or check out the Swiss Army Woman origin playing in the Pulp Girl Grindhouse . Stay Tuned.

After debuting a limited edition convention book at the 2009 show, we'll be back in 2010 exhibiting in the small press pavilion space L7 with not one, but two new books with all new content! While the Pulp Girls project is is still in pre-production, we can't help but share some of the exciting work that's being created, so we have two 16 page comics featuring two of our exciting concepts, Swiss Army Woman and Vampblade. These new books will be limited to only 100 copies each and sell for $5. Both contain one full story: Swiss Army Woman By myself and new artist to the project Chris Mullins (SKAD student), along with a never before published Swiss Army Woman sketchbook section! Vampblade By myself and Justin Wayne ( Nosferatu OGN Viper Comics), with the first full Vampblade story and several pages from the next part, all showcasing Justin's amazing inked and toned linework (and only offered in this version)! Limited, gorgeous, eye popping, and in your face! If you can...

The Pulp Girls sketch card set (one half of the 5finity Jam series, also featuring Jim Mahfood's mix tape) was released this week, but pre sold out completely by 5finity . We did have a limited amount of "packs" available for pre sale here, and now only have 18 of those remaining up for grabs, which will be placed on eBay shortly (or email jason@superrealgraphics). Here's a look at the final packaging artwork - some of our titular girls in action - created by myself and Ralph Neise: Obviously an homage to Herb Trimpe's classic GI Joe issue number 1 cover art, for the original Marvel Comics series (a personal favorite book)! Here also is the final artist list: Ben Glendenning Boo Bryan Turner Charles Holbert Chris Mullins Christian Sanhueza Dan Mendoza Daniel Logan David Dwonch David Harrigan Dennis Budd Deruykc Vincent Edward Pun Emily Martin Frank Rapoza Frankie B Washington Greorge Webber Grant Gould Jason Martin Javier Hernandez Jeremy Treece Jerry Car...

Okay folks, with the release of the 5FINITY JAM sketch card series featuring PULP GIRLS just over a month away, we are now able to start taking pre orders for the card packs! Remember, for 5finity a card pack is equal to one original artist sketch card randomly inserted from the artist list on the set. The packs themselves retail for $24.95 msrp, and we have a limited amount to offer from the already limited set run of 600, at the special price of $20 each. Packs also include the following extras (for the Jam, 1200 card - two series, full set): 75 rare artist sketch cards (1:16 packs) 75 hot packs with 2-3 sketch cards (1:16 packs) 20 prismatic holofoil sketch cards (1:60 packs) 20 commission request redemption cards (1:60 packs) 4 ruby embedded sketch cards (1:300 packs) Plus unannounced inserts and surprises! Odds of receiving a special pack are approximately 1 in 6!! Release date is 7/15 PayPal $20 for each pack to: jasinmartin@hotmail.com Plus shipping - either $3 for single packs...

In production now, and releasing July 15th, 5finity will be producing Pulp Girls sketch cards in conjunction with the creators involved in the Pulp Girls project. For those unfamiliar with sketch cards, they're hand drawn trading cards, often included in trading card sets as rare cards... 2.5x3.5" pieces of original artwork. 5finity is a sketch card company that solely produces sketch cards, selling the highly desirable original art cards directly to collectors, as opposed to making customers buy a whole case of trading cards to get a single sketch card. 5finity keeps pretty tight wraps on set info, but I can tell you it will be a fairly limited production run, and that we also have most the actual Pulp Girls artists, as well as many more exciting creators, working on the set (several who are new to sketch cards, as well as some heavy hitters in the sketch card world)!! That's right, hundreds of cards with eye-popping artwork from cool artists, based on our bad ass genre ...

PULP GIRLS will officially launch in 2010!!! Twitter, Facebook, Deviantart, blog, comics... STAY TUNED!

What is Pulp Girls? You can find out soon, next week in fact. Pulp Girls will be debuting at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 , at the Super Real Graphics booth, 5331 (in the independent publishers area at the front of the hall). We'll have a limited edition 2009 convention book available at the show, while supplies last, that showcases the upcoming project. The books are limited to 250 copies, and are an over-sized 8.5x11" perfect bound format, in full color, and feature 72 pages of Pulp Girls content! To give you a better idea though, before getting your hands on the book, Pulp Girls is a collection of concepts - inspired from grindhouse cinema, pulp heroes, and similar genre roots - in small cliffhanger style format, all with a female-centric twist. In your face, fun, dangerous, colorful, short, and sweet. GIRLS + WEAPONS x DANGER = PULP GIRLS Ever since the release of the Grindhouse double-feature, there's been a shift in the pop-art/comic world, and a move to the more subver...
