Here's a quick retrospective of the various Richard Sala comics I've been able to gather over the years, a smorgasbord of delightfully macabre and playfully dark stories and adventures. Richard Sala left us too soon and while I will always treasure these twenty or so comics, it's heartbreaking to think we will not have any more (with the exception of an in-production book which will now be a posthumous publication)
Although I'm still missing a few of Sala's comics in my collection (most notably I have yet to get Violenzia, The Grave Robber's Daughter, and The Bloody Cardinal), in this video I put on quick display issues of Drawn and Quarterly Volume 1, the Fantagraphics anthology Zero Zero and the collected edition of The Chuckling Whatsit, Sala's solo series Evil Eye and the collected volumes it birthed Mad Night, Peculia, and Peculia and the Groon Grove Vampires. There's also the collaborations Dracula (with Steve Niles) and It was A Dark and Silly Night (with Lemony Snicket, from Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly's anthology for children), the illustrated book of rhyme The Ghastly Ones, the reprint celebration Maniac Killer Strikes Again, and the novellas The Hidden and In A Glass Grotesquely. And of course Delphine.
