Happy Compleanno Miles...

Walter Molino (circa 1955)

SIN CITY

Mood…

Enrico de Seta (circa 1959)

A pencil character study I drew back in the Covid days — a small piece of a story I still hope will see the light someday, even if time has flown by.

Eight years since Near Death landed in Italy. Still proud to have been part of it with my partner in crime @jayfaerber.bsky.social — and grateful to @imagecomics.com for the trust.

Vintage Italian pulp energy. Baci e Spari (1973) — kisses, bullets, and pure graphic attitude.

One of my favorite Ken Parker cover by Ivo Milazzo

Amazing to finally discover Miller’s true inspiration for The Dark Knight.😄

Tony Stella was not only an incredible artist, but also someone with a deep love and understanding of Italian film culture and so much more. I’ll miss our exchanges of photos of Bud Spencer, Alberto Sordi, Sergio Leone… I still can’t believe he’s gone. RIP Maestro

May the 4th…

Wally Wood had an impressive sense of composition and technique.

I’m not really into awards, but I genuinely think Making Your First Comic has helped people start their comic journey. Ringo Award nominations are open, and there’s actually a category it fits: Best Comics-Related Publication ringoawards.com If you think it’s worthy, maybe nominate it?

I could stare at this Raymond panel for hours.

The black‑and‑white cover created for the Spanish edition of the noir anthology Black Grid.

In comics, even bathroom breaks have an audience.

I’m seriously thinking of spending a week end in Basilea to see it

NEAR DEATH by @jayfaerber.bsky.social and @guglie.bsky.social remains one of my favorite comics of the past 20 years. #comics

Mood…

Ever since I saw this photo, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about a Twin Peaks prequel with Marilyn Monroe in the role of Laura Palmer.

Picked up an original art page by one of my favorite artists, Gustavo Trigo, at Lucca Collezionando. Couldn’t be happier with this find — a real treasure for my collection!

At Lucca Collezionando I run into my friend Riccardo Burchielli #DMZ #Vertigo

You keep spinning me around…

I kicked off 2026 with one big goal: making my own comic. I’ve drawn (and a bit written) before, but a 42‑page comic is a whole new challenge. What’s keeping me on track is this awesome guide — which I now call “How to Make Comics the @mattgarvey1981.bsky.social Way!”

My personale homage to Sidney Poitier In the Heat of the Night (1967)

The Amazing art of Riccardo Paoletti

I must have flipped through this beautiful book by Sean Phillips at least ten times or more, sarchino for inspiration in these wonderful pages, and I don’t know how I managed not to notice before that this masterpiece was created in my own city.

I’m looking for Marty McFly

Sad but True…

if you missed out on the I TOOK A HAMMER TO HELL Kickstarter for the limited edition OVERSIZED Hardcover...i've literally put the last couple up on my site...and once they are gone the are gone forever! garveycomics.com/products/i-t...

12 days until the first issue of IS TED OK? drops, courtesy of @madcavestudios.com. Written, drawn, colored, lettered by me. This book is going to melt your brain. Pack your go-bag and get onboard now. What has been your headphone obsession lately? I’ve been so so stuck on PINKERTON by Weezer.

I finally found the time to read THE SKIM and I absolutely loved it — actually, even more than that! :-) It has all the ingredients I enjoy: a story that's really well written and illustrated in a kaleidoscopic way that grabs you from the very first panel all the way to the last one!!!!

An invisible man can rule the world. Nobody will see him come, nobody will see him go.

This two-volume complete edition of Alack Sinner gathers all the stories ever published about the disenchanted detective, remastered and partially relettered by Muñoz himself. It includes over 800 pages of noir brilliance, enriched with rare interviews and unpublished drawings.

Flame Fatale

THE SKIM is live on Kickstarter and I am genuinely buzzing. A gritty crime comic about stealing mob money without ever robbing a casino. Would love your support or a share. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat... #Comics #IndieComics #KickstarterComics

Into the darkest night…

I’ve seen it and I highly recommend it.

“Need some shooting lessons”

Just a VERTIGO poster idea…hope you like it

Signals from the drawing board
