Biography
Domenico Mirabella (aka D. Mira) is an Italian artist.
In an issue of "Occhio Cupo" (edizioni Audace) from 1948 Galep had a column, "Galep risponde", where he reviewed drawings sent to him by young readers eager to become comic book artists. One of the drawings was from "Siracusa" by Domenico Mirabella.
For the "Fratelli Spada" publications in the 60s, he drew several stories and llustrated covers which were also later retaken in the French "Editions des Remparts" Mandrake issues.
One of his drawn story ("Il malvagio venuto dallo spazio") has been published in America (in "Mandrake the Magician #9") and in United Kingdom (in "Uncanny Tales #96)" under the title name "Terror from Outer Space".
In the early 70s he collaborated occasionally with the Di Vitto brothers on "Sartana (Joe Colt)". He also drew two Italian comic-books: "Lak, il giustiziere dello spazio" in 1970/1971 and "Karatè" (written by Mario Pedrazzi) in 1975. Later he did several stories for the German comics "Gespenster Geschichten" and "Spuk Geschichten".
Fratelli Spada stories by Domenico Mirabella
In the beginning, Mirabella adapted and redrawn previously published stories with Mandrake. It looks like he was using a Light table or a kind of Opaque projector like an art-o-graph in making his art work. When he continued to create his own stories, he developed a drawing technique where he traced art by Phil Davis and other artists, so the panels appears more like a collage with a little extra ink to tie the drawing together.
