Above, a great Swamp Thing illustration, combining monstrosity and tenderness, by Italian über-artist Officina Infernale.

It seems that the illo would be included in an upcoming Moore-related book.

Moore 70: Happy birthday, Magus!

Cover art by Carlos Dearmas. Colours by Luca Paciolus.

Today is the day! Happy 70th birthday, Alan!

 

Upon request from the friends at Fumo di China (which is a long-standing Italian magazine fully focused on Comic Art), I put together a 6-page special to celebrate the great event. With a gorgeous cover art by Carlos Dearmas & colours by Luca Paciolus.

The special contains a 4-page article that I wrote titled "Parole da Moore" (Words by Moore) with Moore portraits by Gene Ha, Angelo Secci, Leomacs, Lorenzo Mò, Giacomo Putzu and Officina Infernale. Furthermore, the special includes a brief Moore profile, selected excepts from the famous Sassaki's interview and 7 opinions about Moore from his peers and friends.

All in Italian, of course. Scusate. Sorry.

Special thanks to Carlos, Luca, Gene, Angelo, Massimiliano, Lorenzo, Giacomo, Andrea and Raphael for their collaboration and permission.

The magazine (Fumo di China n. 335) will be available next week in all the Italian news-stands & comic shops (of good taste). 

Visit Fumo di China site (HERE) or their FB page (HERE) for more information.

 

Again... Auguri, Alan! A chent'annos. Have a great day!

 

(And maybe there is something moore to come...)

Moore Against da System by Officina Infernale

Art by Officina Infernale (a.k.a. Andrea Mozzato)

Above a very intense, punk version of Alan Moore drawn by Italian über artist OFFICINA INFERNALE (a.k.a. Andrea Mozzato).

"Without any planning, he turned out the Moore version who's fucking angry at the comics majors... And obviously Moore is 100% right in his attitude!", Officina Infernale said.
