Here's page 9 of King Pest, writeen by Antonella and drawn by Anton Emdin, based on a short story by Edgar Allan Poe...

Anton writes: I love drawing portraits of crazy characters, so this page was a blast! I used to do a regular spot in a street newspaper called The Sydney City Hub. I did this thing called "Sydney City Weirdoes, where I would draw all the strange people I met working at a little corner store in a bohemian area. Some of them looked a little bit like these guys!

Antonella writes: I loved describing these portraits. I put into them all those things kids love ~ Poe gave good descriptions to start with ~ and I hoped that the artist could translate the words into visuals. At the time I didn't know which artist would be choosen to draw this story. It is up to the sensitivity of the editor to match the artist with the scriptwriter. I think this match has worked very well!
