Comment
A stunning Diabolik commission by Giuseppe Palumbo, I asked to him a variation of his original cover from "Diabolik : Ginko before Diabolik", and the result has gone beyond my best expectations, Giuseppe is a great artist and a very nice person, I love his inking ability and in my opinion this piece captures perfectly the dark and mystery mood of Diabolik serie but with a modern style. Giuseppe himself decided to name this new version : "Diabolik: Ginko cover reboot."
