Sequential Spotlight #01: Massimiliano Frezzato’s The Keepers of the Maser
Sequential Spotlight #01
Massimiliano Frezzato
The Keepers of the Maser
Welcome to the newest addition to Sound Colour Vibration with the series titled “Sequential Spotlight”. The art of comic story-telling is one that is immensely under-appreciated these days, an under-appreciation we will help remove as this series grows with more articles, interviews and exclusive content. I firmly believe we are on the cusp of a creative renaissance right now that also includes some amazing sequential art being created by incredibly talented individuals. Every week I will spotlight Sequential Art that I personally think is worthy of some props and recognition. If you are asking what sequential art is, don’t worry. “Sequential art refers to the art form of using a train of images deployed in sequenc to graphic storytelling or convey information”. Basically it’s a fancy way of saying comics. I will feature impressive and inspiring new works that I come across as well as classics from the masters of this art medium.

Now to our first article in this new series @ Sacvs
Massimiliano Frezzato (not to be confused with Frank Frazzeta) is an Italian comic creator best known for his highly-acclaimed series, The Keepers of the Maser (published by Heavy Metal). I first saw his art at the San Diego Comic Con Heavy Metal booth many years ago. All it took was a few glances of those pages, and I immediately had to own all his hardcover books.
With his use of incredibly expressive faces, brilliant colors, and amazing backgrounds, Frezzato is a testament to how exceptional sequential art can truly be.
