~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello my friends,

today my own THE BLACK BEETLE finally hits the stores in the pages of Dark Horse Presents #11. I am so excited about its debut and feel blessed it is happening with a publisher I have always loved and admired :)
Here's a link to a 4 page preview.
If you guys dig some old school FUN comicbooking, then you should pick it up - I am sure you will enjoy this.

Also out today THE SHADOW #1 (by Garth Ennis and Aaron Campbell - from Dynamite) and NEAR DEATH #7 (by Jay Faerber and SImone Guglielmini - from Image), other two really good books I was lucky enough to do covers for.

YAY Comics! :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Hello my friends,

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter holiday weekend :)
To stick with the Easter Eggs theme, I felt inspired to draw some of my favorite eggs ;)
ALIEN still is one of my all time favorite movies - hope you dig the tribute here.



I wanted also to let you all know I have been nominated for the prestigious Eisner Award in the Best Cover Artist category, thanks to the covers I have been doing for DARK SHADOWS, LONE RANGER, WARLORD OF MARS, ZORRO, BLACK PANTHER, and ARCHIE MEETS KISS.
I can't even express how excited and honored I am to be an Eisner nominee: as someone who has been working in this industry for some time now, it really means a lot.
Let's cross fingers now and hope I can bring that little trophy home :)

Thank you all for the continuing love and support: you guys def inspire me to do more and better every time :)

Cheers,
Francesco
