Old people aren’t common subjects of entertainment even less so in comics, and, usually, rightfully so. “Pulp” is a hard boiled noir that strips the mystique away from the laconic, too cool, hero figure. This hero is desperate, old, and afraid. The transitions between the hero’s younger life and current life move the story along evenly and build the stakes and intrigue. Ultimately tragic and touching, plus its a rare crime drama that isn’t a complete downer.

PS- if you like noir stuff, which you do, or I’ll break the bones in your hands, try “Weird Detective,” “Joe Golem,” there’s some great comic versions of Raymond Chandler stories out there, "Vinegar Teeth."
