I had so much fun making these. They're all existing pulp novel covers with real titles and taglines; I just changed the art. Torchwood + pulp seems a foregone conclusion, to me. Before I started I had just intended to be clever with using relevant titles, but after just the first (I, Robot) I realised that they had the potential not just to make a clever reference, but make a whole new story. I mean, yes, I have done art analysis up the wazoo, so I knew this already, but I am so delighted at how much can be construed from such a simple set of words and visual tropes.

In summary: I am totally making more fanart. I adore it.
