From Vision to Page: An Artist's Journey Through Rumble and Beyond

This article explores the creative journey behind the Rumble series, sharing insights from one of its key artists about his experience collaborating on this expansive comic project.

Fans of comic and graphic art are likely familiar with the ambitious narrative of Rumble, which blends contemporary storytelling with vast, mythic elements. Developed by a veteran writer and brought to life by a dedicated illustrator, the series has earned its modern classic status. The discussion sheds light on what it meant to work on such a distinctive project.

During a recent conversation at Comicon Napoli, the artist explained that his involvement in the series was driven by passion and admiration for the visionary ideas presented by the writer he worked with for years. He emphasized that the imaginative and unconventional aspects of the story originate from the writer’s creative direction. His role focused on interpreting these ideas visually, although he acknowledged that not every eccentric detail transferred perfectly from concept to drawing.

In addition to discussing Rumble, the artist shared thoughts on his own original project, Ultramega. He expressed sincere appreciation for the audience who embraced this personal endeavor. Notably, he highlighted that this venture marked his debut in both writing and illustrating a work solely under his name—a challenge that was met with warm enthusiasm, especially from the Italian community, leaving him feeling humble and encouraged by the positive responses.
