Sex and Horror: The Art of Alessandro Biffignandi features hundreds of high quality original art scans from the collections of Mark Alfrey (me) and Rich Oberg. These are the cream of the crop, Biffignandi's greatest cover paintings for 1970's Italian adult comics. This is the follow-up book to Sex and Horror: The Art of Emanuele Taglietti. We're thrilled to see these works finally getting the attention they so deserve. Available for pre-order through most major book sellers including Amazon and direct from Korero Press. Release date - July 2016
This cover for Wallestein 55 (1978) features an element inspired by a scene from the 1978 film "Inglorious Bastards". Some would say it's "stolen" or "copied" but those would be unfitting terms. Alessandro Biffignandi imbued a greater beauty to his interpretation than the inspiring image. Therein lies the definition or artistry. To see a scan of the original art and more of Biffignandi's work check out Gallery 1.

Just added a few more scans of cover art to Emanuele Taglietti's gallery.
Back in the summer of 2014 I had the incredible honor of having Emanuele Taglietti and his lovely wife Katia come to stay with us during one of his world tours. We only had two days together but we tried to show him as much as we could on his short visit to Las Vegas. As we explored Hoover Dam, Emanuele was suddenly inspired by a concept for a fumetti-style painting. He stopped us right there on the famous landmark and had me and my girlfriend Blayne pose for photographs for this provocative scene of a vampire attack. We staged this moment right in front of a crowd of tourists! (Yes, clothed.) That's the master himself in the background. In it's own strange way this piece marks that special moment when we all met in person for the first time.
