Leone Frollo is an Italian comic book artist from Venice. I actually had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman while visiting Venice in the Spring of 2006. My boyfriend (at the time) and I were intrigued by the work of his we viewed at The Museo d’Arte Erotica. In the gift shop, we purchased one of his collection books and there after went around to different book stores trhoughout Venice in search of more. We unbelievably stumbled across Leone’s editor and he told us to come back to his shop the next day around 1pm to meet the artist. Sure enough, one o’ clock sharp, a frail old man came in and introduced himself as Leone Frollo. It was so exhilarating to meet him in person! He took the time to sign our book and even drew a small sketch for us. We couldn’t speak a lick of Italian, and he couldn’t speak any English, but the handshake was sincere. What a true Venetian artist!
Check out more of his illustrations at Leone Frollo, Comic Artist, Gallery of the Most Popular Comic Art.
(His comics are all in Italian…but the sketches are pretty blunt, even without the storyline)
