Angel Gabriele (American, 1956-2016)

Comic Book Art

Angel Gabriele (b. 1956) started his comics career in 1971, learning the basics from Kelly Freas in his Virgina Beach Studio. He went to work for Rich Bucker in New York City in 1974, assisting on some of Buckler's Kirby-inspired pages. Some were credited, while others were ghosted. Gabriele's first credited work for DC was Kobra #4 in 1976. Gabriele also drew a cover for DC's Impact line, The Web #6-8, and his last credited work for DC was Hardware #34-36 and Static #17, so his comics work has spanned about 30 years.Along the way he has worked for Marvel, DC,and independent publishers

Marvel Mystery Comics #30 (Timely, 1942) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. Timely's first Japanese war cover came shortly after the USA had been rocked by the Pearl Harbor attack (since comics were dated in advance of their release date even back then, this April 1942 issue came out just a couple of months after the attack). The cover, featuring the Human Torch and Toro, is by Al Gabriele. Also appearing are the Sub-Mariner, the Angel, the Vision, and more. Note that a small plastic stabilizing peg is loose inside the CGC holder, not affecting the comic itself or the integrity of the holder. Overstreet 2005 VF 8.0 value = $1,225. CGC census 11/05: 3 in 8.0, none higher.

Sub-Mariner Comics #5 (Timely, 1942) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white pages. With heros like Sub-Mariner around, it's a wonder it took so long for us to win World War II ...oh, that's right, Subbie's just a comic book character! A great one, at that, as this prime example shows! In this issue, we have the first appearance of the Tiger Shark, as well as a 20-page tale starring Timely's most dapper crimefighter, the Angel. The winning cover art is provided by Al Gabriele and George Klein; this gently-read, solid copy looks like a champ, too! Overstreet 2005 VF 8.0 value = $1,756. CGC census 7/05: 1 in 7.5, 2 higher.
