Grindhouse: Drive In, Bleed Out #7

Dark Horse's adult anthology series Grindhouse: Drive In, Bleed Out leans hard into its pulp sci-fi influences with issue #7, launching "Le Voyage Fantastique de Véronique a.k.a. Nebulina Part One" by writer Alex de Campi and artist John Lucas, with colors by Ryan Hill. Francesco Francavilla's cover sets the mood perfectly: a boldly posed heroine in a pink sci-fi outfit raises a gleaming blade against a vivid purple backdrop scattered with retro-styled circular vignettes — a strange alien eye, a pair of oversized lips, a reaching hand, and a rocket ship on an alien world. It's a loving, tongue-in-cheek tribute to the pulpy space-fantasy covers of decades past, wrapped in the series' gleefully irreverent spirit.
