NOW RELEASED:
Warrigal Press is proud to present the second novel in the Joe Blake series of pulp fiction novels, Warning Shots Last!
Joe is a hard boiled copper in Perth, Western Australia who does the hard yards to solve the state's most vicious crimes...
Joe Blake has seen plenty of girls with 'slut' written all over them, but never like this. The girl was near naked, tied to a bed and the killer had driven a sharp object through her heart. 'Slut' had been written on her skin with a black pen. Hot on the trail of the murderer, Joe Blake continues his fight against evil and the seedy underbelly of Australian society. This time, it's personal. Joe Blake never expected to find his friend Latty Sharpe suspended cruelly from the ceiling of a maniac's dungeon. Revenge is sweet, and Joe Blake always fires his warning shots last.
Blake, Joe
Warning Shots Last

New York illustrator Ken Landgraf's fantastic illustrations are well known world wide. Ken says his works, " ... feature gorgeous line work, and sexy and voluptuous beauty." Ken's interpretation of Sheena the Queen of the Jungle and her rival Rulah in very precarious positions attest to Ken's talent. By a special agreement with Ken, Warrigal Press has commissioned this famous illustrator to create a number of unique artworks to celebrate the great Australian cover art of the classic Australian pulp novels of the 1960s. These limited editions are Ken's interpretations ( not the original artwork used) of the cover art of John Slater's Death Island and Slave of the Apache and Jim Kent's The Warrior Gods. The images portrayed are quite brutal and may not be politcally correct in the post liberal "60s" context however the books that inspired these images were readily available in bookshops and newsagents around Australia, (if you were brave enough to buy them!) To have a look at these classic covers click on the Ken Landgraf banner above, but be warned ...
Warrigal Press has a cover art, comic art and original illustration gallery. Take a look at the fabulous illustration of the cover of Lawrence Cortesi's
Mission Incredible and Walter Tyrer's Sexton Blake Thriller

Shanna the She Devil and Rulah and Sheena battling it out in a humorous cover for
Wierd Jungle Tales. Warrigal Press has also secured a number of illustrations by Newton Burcham, Carl Lyon, Norm Mitchell and others plus signed prints by Jim Steranko, Al Williamson and Michael Kaluta. Check out our growing gallery of valuable artworks for sale.
