Description

In Eduardo Risso's Torpedo run, this was a page that I really wanted. The page is a retake of a similar scene earlier in the book, with the couple watching the Godfather. It's that great Godfather panel combined with the 'NY seventies' panels that really does it. You feel the city, you feel the time frame. Love it.

Aside from greatly admiring Risso's work, this page was a huge surprise to me, (not having seen the story),and brought a big smile to my face, as my late father (Dick Smith) created that face on Brando, that Eduardo captured so well. It's nice to think that his work lives on, not only for film buffs, but even, a little bit, in Comic Art.

Thanks for posting this!

What a great comment. Just googled your father and he was an artist in his own right! What a great number of unforgettable movies he worked on, creating some of the great film 'faces' we know. And even in the obituaries here in Belgium, they called him "the Godfather of make-up. Glad that this page brought a big smile on your face.

Great page.

Risso is just amazing, though I was disappointed by the story...it had little of the charm of the original.
