Praise keeps on rolling in for the Black Beetle

The book hasn’t even hit stores yet, but Francesco Francavilla’s Black Beetle is already causing quite a stir. The most recent praise comes from the one and only Jim Steranko.

Steranko, an Eisner award winner who’s worked on everything from Marvel and DC’s biggest books to concept art for Raiders of the Lost Ark, applauds the “…classic heroic tradition of the pulps…” and puts The Black Beetle in the same league as noire legends like The Shadow (that’s pretty high praise there) and Spider.

Look for The Black Beetle to stalk the shadows of comic shop shelves this January from Dark Horse Comics.
