Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, Jacob Phillips: Pulp (Hardcover, 2020, Image Comics)

Max Winters, a pulp writer in 1930s New York, finds himself drawn into a story …

Much like its pulp western references, this graphic novel moves along, punctuated with occasional acts of violence and threaded with a laconic narration that offers just enough skeletal past to explain the protagonist and his current journey. The depiction of pre-WWII hidden and public Nazi sympathies by Americans make this an educational, disturbing, and unfortunately timely read.
