This is my homage to the lovely characters created by Eloisa and Mauro. More about Liludori's world here.

I've done this for Fausto, the owner of the restaurant U Giancu. It's a place near Genova where you can eat italian specialities while admiring hundreds of original comic art pieces taken from the prestigious U Giancu collection. Every inch of the restaurant's walls is filled with drawings made by people like Carl Barks, Alex Raymond, Floyd Gottfredson, Sergio Toppi, Moebius ...... along with homages form nearly all the italian comic artists.
Here are some silver age comics done by Alex Toth for Dell publishing. I started collecting them a couple of years ago, when I discovered that clever thing called eBay. Although I love all the Toth's long career, this period of the late 50s is my favorite, likely because on 32 pages adventures his storytelling skills really stand out, and besides his brush and pen work here is just terrific! All of them are based on movies (like "Darby O'Gill", "The FBI story", "The time machine", "Clint and Mac", or tv shows (Sea hunt, 77 sunset strip...) and it's amazing how Alex (and the writers that worked with him) translated the characters and the plot on the paper.
