An "Epic" Collaboration

In 1978, I had a show of original drawings of my comics at the prestigious Lucca Festival in Italy. In three days of being there, I managed to meet and socialize with some of my comics idols: Joe Kubert, Dino Battaglia, José Antonio Muñoz, Bobby London, Les Lilley, Sergio Toppi, and Hugo Pratt. I also had the pleasure of meeting a few comics editors/publishers, among them Rick Marschall.

Soon after, in 1979, Rick founded a new magazine titled “Epic Illustrated,” published by Marvel Comics. In the first issue of the magazine, published in the Spring of 1980, he published three of my comics, and that’s how our collaboration started. Despite my 40-year hiatus from drawing comics, we’ve still stayed in touch over all this time.
