R.I.P Jose “Pepe” Gonzalez




"Gonzalez is best known for his work on Vampirella. Starting with Vampirella #12 in 1971 and together with Archive Goodwin, Gonzalez created horror classics that have stood the test of time as some of the finest examples of the comics medium. His work was thrilling, sensuous and beautiful. He brought the character to life, elevated her to an icon and, most deservedly, won over a legion of fans who have never forgotten him. To this day, many would say his was the definitive rendition of the character."

I loved Vampirella, it was one of the first comic book characters I remember really liking and drawing myself. Thank you for your beautiful art, Mr. Gonzalez! More here.
