During the 1970s and 1980s, adult-oriented horror comics were big business in Itality. Emanuele Taglietti was one of the most prolific painter of covers for these titles, sometimes creating as many as ten in a single month. Every Friday this month, I'm presented a small gallery of his work in celebration of the 31 Nights of Halloween.
When the market for comics full of sex and violence and monsters and gore began to shrank, Taglietti left the commercial art field to work as a fine artist and art instructor. He retired in 2000, but he continues to do work in the field of mural restoration.
Always great stuff. Still feel a bit taboo, even though I am a way old adult. Guess you can't shake things sometimes.
