Description

16" x 12" oil on canvas board. I do not know about this piece or artist other than what I will post here:

From Juanillo friend, Robert S. Napier:

"Comickazi came out in September of 1969. My friend, the late Bob Juanillo, got me interested in comic books. He had a large Marvel collection, Warren magazines and a bunch of crudzines on hand, too. Bad as they were, I found an appeal in those mimeo or ditto zines, an energy. I thought we could do better, though, so we cobbled together Comickazi. Bob was a genius and remarkable artist and his contribution really gave the zine whatever highlights it achieved. Bob's lovely wife Barbara helped with some of the production work and her presence added beauty to the joint. That tiny apartment also housed two cats, a rat, snakes, lizards, turtles, fish, and maybe more.

Unfortunately, Bob was sickly and shortly after Comickazi came out he had a bad spell. I had been crashing on a chaise in the living room of his one-bedroom apartment since May of that year and never laughed so much and so hard as I did during that time. But when he got sick I rarely laid eyes on him. I moved out in December and rarely saw him much after that. He died way too young; around 30 years of age."

And a memorial tribute to the passing of Forrest Ackerman by Bob Juanillo's widow, Barbara Naegeli:

"I knew Uncle Forry very well. My late husband, Bob Juanillo was the artist for some of the ink drawings for the Perry Rhodan series, and some of the paintings in his collection including "Astarte'. We spent a lot of time with him, personally and at his parties in his "old" museum. He was my husband's mentor and agent and we loved him very much."
