Fans of horror cinema rejoice--the latest issue of Ultra Violent Magazine has returned from the printer and is available for purchase. In-depth interviews with cult personalities like Peaches Christ, Geretta Geretta, and Richard W. Haines sit side-by-side with tons of reviews and exclusive photos. I've contributed an article on the history of the masked supercriminal, from Fantomas to Diabolik and beyond.
In lieu of a clunky transition saying something about how Helmut Berger played Fantomas in a miniseries made in the early 80s, I shall just say that one of the good side effects of having contracted the plague recently is it made me house-bound enough to finish up a painting of that actor I'd put aside. Slap your eyeballs on my latest acrylic-on-canvas portrait:

What is with GG's name. In some places it's Geretta Giancarlo, in others, it's Geretta Geretta
Do you know if either the Helmut Berger Fantomas miniseries or the Italian Fantomas movie trilogy have any subtitled releases?
So, when it comes to super-criminals, what, in your opinion are better, the masked kind like Fantomas or Diabolik or the baroque, world-dominationy kind like Fu Manchu or Dr. Mabuse?
Awesome art, Kate! Glad to see you picked that one up again and finished it so impressively. You need to put together a Eurotrash portraits show!

Any magazine with the words 'Masked Supercriminal Retrospective' on its cover gets my money. Great art too.
Can't wait to read your work in the newest UV! Plus that Helmut Berger painting is fab. He is too lovely.
