James Jean's homage to Sergio Toppi

Art by James Jean.

In 2005 renowned artist JAMES JEAN contributed to the homage gallery included in Sergio Toppi: Nero su bianco con eccezioni, an Italian book written and edited by Fabrizio Lo Bianco.
The volume, published by Black Velvet Editrice, examined the career and works of SERGIO TOPPI, the acclaimed Master of Comics Art and Illustration, recently passed away.

In that occasion James Jean drew an intense portrait of Toppi's character Il Collezionista (The Collector).
