Comment
This is the the second part of the diptych that I commissioned to Giuseppe Palumbo regard the Diabolik comic serie, the first part represents the "bad guys": Diabolik and Eva Kent, while this last part portrays the "good guys": The inspector Ginko and his beautiful mate Altea di Vallenberg. Each commission (30 x 42 cm) may obbiously be seen as a stand alone art piece but if connected also as one larger composition with all the four principal characters (Diabolik,Eva,Ginko,Altea) of the serie created by the Giussani sisters ( Angela e Luciana) in the far 1962. Even this piece is realized by the usual elegant and decorative style of the artist and by his masterful inking work and a great use of blacks, that is perfect for the noire/crime genre.
