PULP TALES is a "two-fisted one-shot featuring all-new, action-packed stories by horror master Steve Niles, P.U.N.K.S' Josh Fialkov and Kody Chamberlain, '76's B. Clay Moore & Seth Peck, Capote in Kansas' Chris Samnee, In My Lifetime's Tony Fleecs, and more! Featuring a cover by Ben Templesmith!"

24pgs / Full Color / $3.99

Like most independent comics, if the pre-orders aren't there, this book will be horribly under-ordered.

Rather than another memorial/charity for a comic creator who's passed on, why not try and help a creator (and his family) while he's still here?

I have created a little bumper for everyone if you could please add it to one of your shows to try and drum up some support for Josh.

Lets try and make a difference for someone who is still here with us!

Vote to see Jack Knight made into an action figure!
