Xforce Sex and Violence issue 3 and TPB cover by Gabriele Dell'Otto (2010)

Absolutly increadible!  

Thanks Kavi. Took some saving/selling to fund this piece, but very happy with it. 

Not luck, the best at what he does. Collect!

So Awesome! Congrats on scoring this!

Appreciate it Bo. Very happy and grateful to grab this one

Thanks Logan #teamwolverine

So nice, man. I'm SO glad all the infrared stuff was added digitally!

Thanks Ruben. But it matches with Wolverine's eyes and the hand ninjas. Jk, agreed. But tempted to get an overlay with the infrared.

Glad to join the Sex and violence Dell'otto club. I visit your piece annually.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Tremendous! Eye-popping even!!

Eye poppin, claw poppin, equal male to female ratio...

The lighting, the black leather, the dark tones, and the theme all work together to create a grand cover piece that set Dell'Otto apart from other comic painters!

Agreed. Really enjoyed Dell'Otto's rendition of Wolvie's silver and black and the lighting off of Domino's weaponry #chefskiss

Dell'Otto has ascended to true OG status, and yet he remains so active.  What a bridge between the old and new guards... just as Wolvie and Domino are.  Stunning example here.

Thanks Steve. While I enjoy his covers, bummed we did not get to see much Dell'Otto's interior work outside of this, Secret Wars and Spidey big time

Amazing. Congrats. 

Such a classic image and certain one of the to dell otto pieces ever made

Dell'Otto has to be in my top 5 as well. Congrats on yet another epic pick up, John! This cover is fantastic.

Thanks Victor. You and I have similar nostalgic taste. Appreciate it man.

Such a great Dell'Otto cover, congrats on the pickup!

Congrats!! Dell'Otto's Wolverine/Domino covers were the most memorable covers from that whole black costume X-Force run. So good!

Thanks Byron. So many heavy hitting artist contributing to Wolverine's black costume..Choi, Crain, Olivetti, Granov...but agree Dell'Otto's stood out the most.

Outstanding Piece of Art! It is so impressive and powerful.

Big congrats acquiring your grail it's a beautiful cover! 

Appreciate it Jeff. Learned this hobby is about timing and patience, along with a war chest!

Nice!

Man, I think Gabriele's paintings contain more grit than a whole hardware store shelf full of sandpaper.  A PHENOMENAL example of what Gabriele does so, so unbelievably right...  The weight and drama, the tone and sense of menace, all operating under such gorgeous lighting... Just sheer bad-assery all around (compositionally and character-wise).  That menacing color scheme was a perfect fit for the tone of this series (and artist), and really allows the color red to pop out so well...  You get a brief taste of that on Domino's and Wolvie's belt buckles, but you know it's a frighteningly short amount of time before the innards of some unfortunate mook will reinforce the basic color theory at play here.  The message is abundantly clear: you DO NOT mess with these characters.  Fantastic pick up, JS, and HUGE (and well-deserved) congrats on achieving a long-time collecting goal and landing a personal Grail!  Brilliant!

That's it you are hired to write my next description..haha thanks again!

Congrats on this gorgeous cover piece, cheers!

stunning

What a great series.  Some of the best X-Force art of that period, Dell-Otto's style was such a perfect match for that iteration of the team.  Love it.  Congrats!

Thanks man. Loved Crain and Dell'Otto's xforce rendition. Too bad Crain's work was digital...but to have 3 book interior by Dell'Otto was such a treat

Lives up to the title and then some!

Jawdropping cover art by Gabriele Dell'Otto! Everything about this painting is phenomenal! The composition, the lighting, the oolors are all fabulous!

Grail alert!  Finally made it home, eh?!  :)  Love it, JN, and in the perfect collection.  Congrats!
