Did you mis-type 65?

I was always a fan of Sala. His style was instantly recognizable. I think I still have some old RAW comics with his stuff.

Or is the Birth year wrong? Who knows… I bet an editor of some sorts could get to the bottom of it.

So sad to hear this. He did a wonderful End-Of-The-Millennium cover for me back when I was art director at The Rocket in Seattle.

This really sucks. His work was uniquely delightful.

Did he actually hold his drawing implements like this?

He looks like he’s holding a calligraphy brush instead of a pencil.

Whatever works, though.

I loved Invisible Hands, his animated shorts on MTV’s Liquid Television.

I love his slightly forced sense of mystery! He was certainly one of a kind.
