I love pulp fiction.

No, not the Tarantino movie (although, I love that, too!). I’m talking about the literary genre after which Quentin named his watershed film. The “pulps,” as they were called, were filled with fantastic strange new worlds, bizarre technology, sensational action, and of course, a stalwart hero.

Pulp series like Doc Savage, The Shadow and the Conan series were all the offspring of classic fantasy novels by authors like Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They, in turn, provided inspiration for modern day filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas on films like Raiders of the Lost Ark.

As a kid, these books and films seized my young imagination like nothing else, and years later have yet to release their hold. And I’m not the only one.

Jeff Nodelman is a guy after my own heart. He, too, shares a love of all things pulp. I first got to know Jeff through a different project he was pitching to TOKYOPOP. Although that idea didn’t quite feel right for us, I had been looking for a creator who could tap into the pulp adventure genre that I was dying to work in, and I knew immediately that Jeff was my guy. I couldn’t have been more right <takes moment to pat self on back>.

Jeff and I had a conversation where I rattled through a litany of images, tropes and themes that I was hoping to see in the project. Then he went off for a bit and later delivered a rough outline for his proposed book. It had everything I’d hoped for—weird science, arcane secrets, globetrotting adventure, intense action, and in Dr. Dylan Oliver, a young hero we could all root for. What more could I ask for?

And now we proudly present Project D.O.A. : Dylan Oliver Adventures.
Enjoy the all the pulpy goodness.

Meet Dr. Dylan Oliver, a young scientific phenom who makes the incredible seem like child's play.

When a horrible lab accident causes him to question everything he thought he once knew, Dylan and his team will embark upon a globetrotting journey on a quest to accomplish the impossible—defeat death itself!

From top secret government laboratories, to ancient tombs, to far-flung lands thought only to exist in legend, Dylan Oliver and his companions will go to the very ends of the earth to solve the world’s greatest mystery!
