New on Ultra Palermo is a series that will hopefully be a recurring one. Thanks to fantastic talents of Penina, Ultra Palermo is proud to present a comic strip devoted to the crazy antics of none other than the man, the myth, the mental case, Maurizio Zamparini. The strip is entitled Li’l Zampa and we hope that you enjoy it. All the credit goes to Penina who can be found on Twitter by her professional account (@peninacomix) where her works are on full display and at her website http://www.penina.net. Please, give her a shout in the comments or on Twitter and let us know what you think!
