This is Terry Maltos. I was Al Rio’s business partner and friend for almost 10 years. He died unexpectedly in 2012.

Al Rio was a very prolific artist! Over the years we shared dozens of projects and I have hundreds of scans of his work to share. This is Volume 1 of what could be a 3 or 4 volume series in which I’ve chosen some of the best and most representative images of his work.<\/p>\n

\"Al<\/p>\n

I’m starting back in 2003 and going up to 2005 in this Volume. Material in this collection is mature. There are no nudes but there is some pinups which may be considered \u00ab\u00a0risqu\u00e9.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Total Needed? = $5500

ABOUT AL RIO<\/h2>\n

Excerpt from the Biography in the front of the book:<\/strong>

However, any such list would be woefully incomplete without the contributions of Al Rio.<\/p>\n

His childhood was influenced by Hanna-Barbera animation, comic characters like Iron Man, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, and X-Men, and artists like John Romita, Gil Kane, Jos\u00e9 Luis Garc\u00eda-L\u00f3pez and Stan Drake… (read more in the book!)<\/p>\n
