This seemed like the best place to post.
Jose Gonzalez, popular artist of Warren magazines in the 70s passed away. If you're not familiar with his name, you surely know his work. His depiction of Vampirella was breathtaking. This is his iconic poster of Vampirella that Warren sold in the back of the magazine:

Boy I remember that. I appreciate any artist who portrays a fantasy babe as a real woman. The skin tone alone is quite impressive.

One of the few that could transcend the medium. too bad. They don't paint or draw like that anymore.

For my money he was the best Vampirella artist, period. No one before or since has quite captured Vampi the way Jose did.

Sorry to hear he is no longer with us. A true artist.

He knew how to draw/paint real looking women.
