FAVORITE COMIC BOOK:
Growing up: too hard to choose 1. In the 80’s, I loved to read Daredevil, Punisher, Silver Surfer, Moon Knight, Cloak & Dagger, X-Men, X-Factor, and anything drawn by Todd MacFarlane (especially his Spiderman run).
and now:
I enjoy reading comics created by independent artists. For example, “Werewolves vs Dinosaurs” published by American Mythology Comics.

The7Deadly Questions
How long did it take you to hone your skill to reach the level that it is currently at?Started drawing in the 8th grade (1985’ish) and self taught ever since. I strive to always learn more and to consistently improve my craft.
What Indie Title are you currently a huge fan of?
So many to choose from. Will have to say my current favorite is “Werewolves vs Dinosaurs” from American Mythology Comics.
What has been your favorite project to work on and why that particular one? My favorite is my Beloved Witness comicbook I am in the midst of creating. So much hard work goes into creating your own comic, that it really is a labor of love.
Sex and comics seem to go hand and hand why do you think these two thing seem to pair so well?
The reality of comics is that they were always the place to escape to for the teenage male imagination. Powerful men fighting evil villians, sexy women, and over the top scenarios were things the buyers wanted to see. And not just the buyers, but also the artists. Drawing these books was their form of escapism too. Nowadays, the political correctness crowd is trying to fundamentally change what comics are and to turn them into these sanitized “safe zones” where the goal is more about forced diversity than about a good story.
What behavior at comic cons from other Creators and artists makes you mad to see?
This goes for other artists, cosplayers, or even casual fans. Comic Con etiquette seems to be disappearing…when you see someone at an artist’s table, don’t go interrupting the potential sale because you want to take a photo of their costume. Wait until the person finishes their transaction. We work hard for our money, and someone swooping in to pull our potential customer away can cause enough of a distraction that we lose the sale as they get pulled away.
What’s even worse is when other artists start talking to potential customers while they are still at your own table. You wait until the people finish up and step away from my table before you start yapping your sales pitch to them. One last petpeeve are those who stand in the aisle to sell their stuff. We pay for our spots and you can stand in your spot. But we are not supposed to stand in the middle of the aisle, disrupting the flow of traffic, and being an ass to our neighbors. Stay in your allotted space.
If you could out right own any Character ever created and than make your own stories for them, who would that character be?
Boba Fett
Who is the Worst Superhero and you Hope he ethier dies or just goes away and stays away?, and why them?
Worst Superhero???? Hmmm….I guess Howard the Duck. Why? I think it’s self explanatory. LOL. 😉
Well done Scott Zambelli you now have the page to tell us why we should become fans and what you are working on now:
“Why become a fan of any artist? Well…because you like their work. So I ask you to please visit my Facebook fan page and see it for yourself. And if my artwork resonates with you, please follow my page and keep up with my art and comic con appearances.”
“As far as current projects go, I’m currently finishing up issue #1 of my new comic book, “Beloved Witness” “.
