'90s Moore by Catacchio and Baldazzini

Art by Onofrio Catacchio

Few weeks ago, comic book artist and friend Onofrio Catacchio send me some scans from an old publication. It's the catalogue published in 1991 by Editori del Grifo for the 16th edition of Treviso Comics convention. The book, in Italian (of course), is titled Segni Particolari and was edited by Silvano Mezzavilla, with a great cover by Lorenzo Mattotti.

 

That Treviso edition was dedicated to several authors including José Munoz and Alan Moore. The catalogue's section about Moore included an excerpt from his Writing for Comics article, selected pages from his comics and 3 portraits: one by Bill Sienkiewicz and two by Italian artists Onofrio Catacchio and Roberto Baldazzini (realized for the catalogue in 1990, I guess a bit in a rush as a... last minute contribution). Note the numbers in Catacchio's version: a clear reference to Big Numbers; at the time there were rumours about an upcoming Italian ed of the now "lost" series. 

Enjoy! (Of course, I've bought a copy of the catalogue!)
