This dynamic rescue scene, which also features Reed Richards, comes from the brush of Francesco Francavilla. Francesco’s pulp inspired artwork has graced the pages of Zorro, The Black Coat, Sorrow and the forthcoming Garrison.

If you would like to see more of Francesco’s lovely work, be sure to visit his sketch blog and website also.
