Comment
Giuseppe Palumbo is one of my favorite italian artists, in black and white/ pen and ink ( Diabolik) he masters perfectly an elegant and sinuous line, in his rare works in colors ( Ramarro: Seconda Pelle) he uses a mixed technique that catches the eye with a particular mélange between watercolors and colored markers. This illustration was realized by Palumbo in 1992 for the portfolio " I volti segreti di Martin Mystere " edited by Lo Scarabeo edizioni ( Turin). In the same year 1992 this illustration was used as cover for Kaos Magazine n 7 edited by Granata Press. The art represents Martin Mystere and Java the Neanderthal man ( M. Mystere is a character edited in Italy by Bonelli) in an investigation in Matera, an italian village famous for the beauty of its architecture and the white rocks of its suggestive historic centre.
