I can't believe there wasn't more coverage of Pepe's passing on the big comics news sites, but...<BR/><BR/>I've done quite a bit of research, Booksteve, and can't find anything else Pepe did for American comics.

Wow!), but nothing else specifically for U.S. publishers.The Groovy Agenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466541479854942040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-78015016613315383732009-03-26T02:07:00.000-04:002009-03-26T02:07:00.000-04:00I loved his work on Vampi.I loved his work on Vampi.Aldoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227280144034314013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-70797137993435170622009-03-25T13:25:00.000-04:002009-03-25T13:25:00.000-04:00RIP and God bless, Pepe...
