About the series
In 2010–2011, Marvel reimagined the Merc with a Mouth through a gritty, retro lens with Deadpool Pulp. This four-issue miniseries strips away the modern wisecracks and fourth-wall breaks, transplanting Wade Wilson into the shadowy, morally gray world of 1950s Cold War espionage. Written by Adam Glass and Mike Benson with stark, noir-infused art by Laurence Campbell, it offers a taut, grounded take on the character that plays his violent skills for deadly drama rather than comedy. A fascinating experiment for longtime fans, it proves Deadpool's core concept can thrive even without the trademark humor.
