EACH ILLUSTRATION TELLS A STORY

Tomas Giorello has always been one of the half-dozen or so artists whose work I've always looked forward to seeing in the many outstanding Gallery Girls collections from SQ Productions. Giorello simply illustrates some of the most beautiful women ever put on paper. In Inferno, Giorello gets his first collection all to his own that spotlights this amazing talent. Working proficiently in any genre including fantasy, horror, sci-fi and eroticism, Giorello displays an exceptional penciling ability whose work looks fabulous reproduced just from pencils. I love the diversity and the sense of wonder and adventure of the pieces in Giorello's collection. Each illustration is a story all on its own. Page 6 features a nude female Indian shaman conjuring up a powerful buffalo spirit. Page 11 finds a nude blonde about to be come a sacrifice to some dark God. Note the detail of the glistening amulet on the robed priest and the whispy smoke of the candles. Page 12 depicts a frequent them in this book...gorgeous and scantily clad prehistoric women either riding, killing, or posing with prehistoric beasts, in this case the nude cavewoman is with a pair of sabre-tooth tigers. Page 29 has what is probably my favorite work of the entire book with two nude warrior women, dressed in thigh-high leather boots and leather gloves and armed to the teeth. There's a great drawing of a Conan-esque barbarian with a huge battle axe and holding his trophy of several horned demon skulls strung at the end of a rope. Another great piece finds a bald, tribal woman, naked and tied to a burning stake as a monstrous snakes writhes around her. Page 61 has a female warrior in some dank, temple ruins surrounded by several decaying mummies. I'd love to see Giorello's work done in a strip format as he seems to have strong story-telling skills. It's a great collection by a young artist who is yet just 31 years old and still improving his craft all the time. Brilliant! Reviewed by Tim Janson
