John Carter of Mars by Francesco Francavilla
Francesco Francavilla makes great comic book art. He did this one back in 2010 for his Pulp Sunday blog. His subtle colour palette brings out the gritty pulp feel he was going for. He’d been inspired by Gold Key’s Korak, Son of Tarzan comics of the late 60s. So here it is with those elements reconstructed and some more of my comic colouring.
Francavilla’s version.
Lineart.
The trade dress was re-created as Gold Key-style elements.
Final colour.
