He helped write, art direct, and research The Book of Mormon on Trial, and The Golden Plates Graphic novels, as well as creating a series of historically accurate paintings about Joseph Smith’s Imprisonments called Prisons and Prophets. He has a deep understanding of Joseph Smith and the First Vision. Sal Velluto was born and raised in Italy. He is a well respected comic book artist. He has done work for some of the biggest comic book companies in the world including Marvel and DC. He has illustrated such beloved comics as Black Panther and The Silver Surfer.
