It's the most intimidating take on the Silver Surfer I've ever seen! It's a haunting and unforgettable.

GUEST STARRING THANOS!
GUEST STARRING GALACTUS!
Can even the combined might of the ex-heralds of Galactus stand against an all out assault by the Annihilation Wave? It gets worse. Thanos, the near omnipotent mad Titan, commands the Annihilation wave assault. It gets EVEN worse. With the heralds otherwise occupied, a shocking character moves to strike at Galactus! You don't want to miss this one! No. Really. You don't.

[Gabriele]

Thanks all Guys ;)

I love paint SS!

[chrismarker]

Gabriele -- your art is amazing!!!! Who are your influences outside of comics?
Believe it or not, your work makes me think of Hans Holbein the Younger or Bosch -- if they were to draw comics! Just AWESOME stuff!

Thanks Chrismarker for your compliments!
My influences are all around me...from Michelangelo to movies magazines...
The list could be infinite!

;)

[chrismarker]

Gabriele -- thanks for responding!

It just seems like your art is very dark in style, like work that is Gothic or Baroque. That's what I'm asking. What style most influences you? And why?! Why that approach? I've never seen such an angry and darkly beautiful vision of Silver Surfer. The close-up of his face screaming -- it's like Caravaggio!

[Gabriele]

You hit the right example!!

I love Caravaggio, His paintings are incredibles, you can see the figures come out the dark of the picture like ghosts! WOW!!
I love sculptor Bernini too...
And Leonardo Da Vinci, Goya, Rembrandt and more, and more, and more...
;)

Thanks !!
