BellaDonnaFor fans of Silverwolf comics, Bella Donna (1987, Pinnacle Comics) is something of a gem.

The book was to be published in June 1987 by Silverwolf, but of course the big implosion occurred and the book was not published…by Silverwolf. Bella Donna is sort of the one that got away, I guess.

Written by Martin Powell, with art by Seppo Makinen and Alan Larsen, only one issue of the title was ever released (Issue #1, ‘The Box’, Pinnacle Comics), which is a shame.

The book is quite good, especially compared to the usual Silverwolf standard for art and story, which is no surprise given the caliber of creators involved. Powell and Makinen are better known as the duo who brought us the classic Scarlet in Gaslight (1987, Eternity Comics), an Eisner Award nominated graphic novel that pitted Sherlock Holmes against Count Dracula in Victorian London.

Because nothing says “robot samurai” like a French name…”

One of the books Neill Brengettsey was hired to draw for Silverwolf Comics was Guillotine. The main character was basically a Samurai version of Robocop (with a french name). In the issue, Lance (from The Eradicators) is hired to hunt down and bring in Guillotine after he escapes from his creators.

There were a cover and 9 pages intended for Guillotine amongst the trove of art shared by Neill for his interview. From that interview:

“Guillotine was going to start off as a skeletal type robot and then he was going to get a more complete robotic body with clothing  — with a  Samurai type outfit…Guillotine was that old shoe about a man stuck in a robots body… Continue reading »
