Francavilla published several stories online and even put out an ashcan. When the ashcan sold out, Francesco quickly realized that many fans were interested in exploring this world with him. It was only a matter of time before Dark Horse approached him about bringing some Black Beetle tales to Dark Horse Presents!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI\u2019m working on a 24-page story, titled \u2018Night Shift\u2019 that will be spread over three issues of Dark Horse Presents. I am hugely influenced by pulp stories of the \u201830s and \u201840s, and wanted to develop a series that used that influence as a jumping-off point to explore some modern storytelling with fun twists. I think this will be a great introduction to readers who are new to this character and universe, but will also be an exciting new adventure for those who\u2019ve been reading the online stories over the years,\u201d Francesco states.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs a huge fan of pulp and noir, working on my own characters and stories really gives me free reign to explore this world and create lots of fun scenarios and thrilling situations. The stories are definitely full of mystery and intrigue, plus I get to give The Black Beetle lots of cool and funky gadgets. \u2018Night Shift\u2019 promises to be full of action, excitement, danger, and double-crosses, so I am overjoyed to see this new tale in print, and hope this is the first of many more to come in Dark Horse Presents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more on
