Liberatore's Batman

"Once you confront the unpleasant reality, I'm sure the nightmares will cease."

"Then they'll never end... because I can't remember!"

The Golden Campaign by Cristian "Crom" Ortiz

While browsing Reddit I discovered a post by someone who said that he had just finished the first issue of his book the Golden Campaign. I was really excited by the artwork and bought up both issues #1 and #2.

 I then asked it's creator, Cristian "Crom" Ortiz, if I could do an interview with him for the Great Comic Book Heroes. He graciously agreed.

José Muñoz' Batman

Argentina born 

José Muñoz 

creates stunning kaleidoscopes 

breathlessly walking the line between abstract an realism.

In case you haven't read my previous post on José Muñoz, I'm a huge fan of his work.

Liberatore's Sax Blues!

"She started sulking. Women always fall for sax players, don't ask me why."

Gaetano Liberatore is a great Italian artist most famous for his android creation that appeared in Heavy Metal Magazine, Ranxerox. In the January, 1985 issue of Heavy Metal he did a stunning little 8 page piece called “Sax Blues”. It’s one of the few non-Ranx things he did in America.

I included the cover of October 1985 Heavy Metal Magazine (rather than the one it appeared in) because the girl on the cover looks like the girl in the story.
