What a shame. He was a great artist and the best to ever draw Vampi, IMHO.

I agree. He had a wonderful style, and really captured the feel of the character. Here is his iconic (for me) Vampi:

I spent a lot of my youth admiring his artwork through the Vampirella stories, and many hours admiring his 6' poster growing up. For me he was THE Vampirella artist for those stories. A tragic loss for the world, and monster kids who grew up with the Warren magazines. He was an amazing and talented artist.

Very sad. I've admired his artwork for DECADES....

His poster set the standard for Vampirella for decades.

RIP Jose Gonzalez.
