Do we know if Sergio ever illustrated a comic in a serious style?
@GrooTube3 күн бұрын
Do you mean to say that Groo isn’t a serious style?! 😉 ha! I know what you mean. He wrote “serious” comics like BatLash, but I can’t think of any completely non-cartoony style comics he illustrated. Now I’m curious. 😀

Very, very nice. It’s a lovely piece of artwork 👏👏 Out of curiosity, how many pieces of artwork does Sergio do in an average day/week? I appreciate there’s a big difference between, say, a small sketch/dedication and a piece of full size comic artwork but I just wondered.
