JOHNNY RECON NO.01
Writer: Scott Dillon
Artist: Mitch Gerads
Cover Artist: Mitch Gerads
In the first part of a four-issue story arc, POPGUNPULP introduces the world to JOHNNY RECON, a high-flying adventure series about a man who prefers to fight his battles with charismatic wit first and his trusty ray-gun second. Sometimes.
Living his life one mistake at a time, and leaving it to his best friend, Finn, and sister, Kierra, to pick-up the pieces. We meet Johnny in the midst of a high-stakes poker game where pistols quickly become more than a side bet. As if trading ray blasts with the space-mob wasn’t enough, the trio must also contend with an unexpected adversary, one that will threaten more than just their lives…and what does this new enemy have to do with Johnny's distant past?
Presented in the tradition of pulp adventure serials from the early twentieth-century with a vibrant HI-FI modern twist, Mitch Gerads and Scott Dillon present an alternative reality where humanity is given a second chance – and a hero is born from it.
"Johnny [RECON] is everything i've ever wanted to work on. He's Indiana Jones, John Carter from Mars, Adam Strange, Doc Savage, all those fantastic strong pulp hero characters from a time when storytelling was all about the intrigue and the excitement and most importantly, the fun." - JOHNNY RECON illustrator and co-creator Mitch Gerads
