Steve Gallacci

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.

Steven A. Gallacci (born 1955) created and published Albedo Anthropomorphics, a black and white alternative comic containing anthropomorphic (funny animal) characters, which has been considered a major factor in the origins of furry fandom.^{[citation needed]}

Gallacci spent 6 years in the US Air Force as a graphics specialist, including a tour of duty in Germany. After leaving the military, Gallacci started Albedo under the Thoughts & Images imprint. First published in 1983, Albedo is still being produced as of 2005 (under the Shanda Fantasy Arts imprint). Among some of the story lines that have appeared in Albedo are Gallacci's own Erma Felna: EDF, a military sci-fi epic featuring some elements of political intrigue, and Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo, which first appeared in the infamously rare Albedo #2.

Gallacci also worked on Fusion, a comic from Eclipse Comics, as well as the Albedo RPG, written by Craig Hilton and Paul Kidd, and based on the Erma Felna storyline from Albedo.

He was a guest of honor at ConFurence 2, held in 1991, and a VIP at RBW 2007. He is scheduled to be the Guest of Honor at Eurofurence 14.
