| Fabulous! What a treat to see this great original art. |
|
| Thank you, it looks great in black and white. |
|
| Lovely art by Evans and by Bagnoli. I wish Fiction House hadn't made their color notes on the originals, though. |
|
| Futura was good - Bagnoli's energetic art very reminiscent of Alex Raymond. Bagnoli (1925-2012), from Milan, worked for a number of companies overseas including Fleetway in the UK and DC in the US. By the 1980s, he was working intermittently on Martin Mystère. |
