During the 31 Nights of Halloween for the past two years, we've been bringing you some of Richard Sala's uniquely spooky paintings. Our last post for 2021 is both an ending and a beginning, as far as Sala and his work goes.
It's an ending, because it's the year that is ending will be the last time we'll be spotlighting Richard Sala's work during our annual Halloween festival. But it's a beginning because for all of 2022, you'll find a different painting here by Sala every other Friday. They will be accompanied by brief text peices, some based on what Sala himself had to say about the featured illustration, others will be little story nuggets suggested by the art and made up by the folks here at the blog.
We say goodbye to 2021 with the cover of Richard Sala's second anthology "Black Cat Crossing" (1993). You will undoubtedly notice that the style is a little different than what you've come to expect from Sala if you're a regular visitor to Terror Titans. This is because Sala didn't start using the heavy lines and solid blacks that are a hallmark of what we consider the high point of his output until the mid- to late-1990s. (Most of the art we've been featuring has dated from a 20-year period stretching from the late 1990s into the 2010s.)
Until we meet again in January and the new year!
