Description
The lost art of Antonio Barreti found and compiled by the creative team Guy Adams and Jimmy Broxton. Almost forgotten, Guy and Jimmy discovered and recovered much of the work of Barreti from this revolutionary spy drama from the 1960's. They recovered several dailies, original art, concept designs, correspondences, interviews and photos. They saw fit to put all their research together and publish Goldtiger. The mysterious Louis Schaeffer's writing complemented Barreti's groovy artwork from the swinging sixties. I was happy to fund their brilliant Kickstarter campaign.

After years of waiting, subterfuge and sabotage, the final product arrived this week carefully concealed in a top secret blank cover book that only a chosen few received. Included was also original art for several dailies. These are rare and among the only art to have survived by Barreti. We follow the adventures of Lily Gold and Jack Tiger. You will notice that one particular villain, a mad scientist named Dr. Singh, seems to bare an uncanny likeness to myself. His untimely death is featured in one of the dailies below. Goldtiger can be found on Amazon and is a fun book.

So uncanny, some might suggest it was photo-referenced:)

Okay, I don't know exactly what the hell is going on with this whole thing, but there is no way this strip was drawn in the 60's. The style is way too contemporary and reminiscent of other modern day comic artists to have been done at any time other than within the last few years. And we're also supposed to believe the massive "coincidence" about the strip's villain resembling you AND sharing not only your name, but profession as well??? No way, dude! I'm not falling for it. Next time I see you, I'll gladly listen to you as you regale me with the story of how you and these 2 other dudes came up with the concept of putting together a few daily strips with you as the primary villain. Come to think of it, the fact that you mention Kickstarter reveals the truth. You paid for one of the more expensive "reward" categories and the reward was that they draw you into the strips, right?! Very clever....
