Black ink drawing of a landscape. A road on a field, with a tree and house structure in the distance.

Black ink drawn comic panel. Two cowboys sit across from each other in a trailer or carriage with their legs up. The one on the right says: "THIS IS SILLY. IT'S NOT MY TIME TO DIE YET. I'M NOT READY."

Black ink drawn comic panel. The image becomes abstract, a distorted scene of someone sitting, except for a smaller panel of a detailed, realistic drawing of the figure's mouth, stubble and nose.

Black ink drawn comic panel. A vertical scene of a car with a caravan, driving down the road. Above, clouds and the sun.

Black ink drawn comic panel. Close up of someone holding a revolver, with a speech bubble reading: "THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO DIE."

PULP is established on the sovereign land of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, as well as Indigenous members of our creative community. We respect the knowledge and customs that traditional Elders and Aboriginal People have passed down, from generation to generation.

We acknowledge the historical and continued violence and dispossession against First Nations Peoples. 'Australia' and its many institutions, including this University, are founded on this very same violence and dispossession. As editors, we will always stand in solidarity with First Nations directions towards decolonisation, reflected in the substance and practice of this magazine.

Sovereignty was never ceded.

Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
