Gabe Sapienza is three letters away from being Hellboy’s psychic sidekick.
The Deer Park illustrator sits tucked in the corner at Nine Bars cafe laughing at my question, “Do you often get mistaken for Abe Sapien, or is it a nom de plume?”
He assures me it’s his real name.
“I get that a lot from Hellboy fans,” he says, with a laugh.
The easy-going 28-year-old slides into why he calls Nine Bars his home base and where the roots of fantasy art came from. I ran into him a few weeks ago at the very same place and decided to get his story.
