Ranx in Book! - very thick book, drawing pencil & ink Tanino Liberatore (born Gaetano Liberatore, 1953) is an Italian comics artist celebrated for his hyper-realistic, muscular drawing style, sometimes called 'the Michelangelo of comics'. With writer Stefano Tamburini he created RanXerox (1978), a cyborg-punk anti-hero built from photocopier parts, first serialised in the underground magazines Cannibale and Frigidaire and later collected internationally, including in France and the US. This pencil-and-ink drawing is from a 2017 deluxe RanXerox book edition.
