I’m excited to unveil today’s Last Kiss (above) because it’s my first collaboration with Israeli artist Elite Avni-Sharon. And more are on the way!
This makes the Last Kiss team truly international since my other current artist Diego Jourdan Pereira—originally from Uruguay—lives in Chile.
And translator/mastermind of the German Last Kiss site Gerd Syllwasschy lives in…well, Germany.
More about Elite and examples of her work here.

Art by Sid Greene from the story “People Will Talk” in NEW ROMANCES #11, 1952.
