My favorite work from this artist and my current phone background

This is probably the most culturally important thing I’ll ever seen in my lifetime if I’m being honest. I want this affixed over my mantle, embroidered into my denim, and emblazoned into my flesh so that generations to come may never forget this 1938 gem of an illustration. Put this on my gravestone and name my children after Alfo Di Gennaro. This is what it’s all about.

I can’t find publication information - anyone know when and where it appeared (the date is when the artist was born)? I’m thinking Golden Age magazine cover, possibly for Galaxy…

This image doesn’t look any older than the 90s to me, and probably not even that old. One of the commenters says it’s from issue 124 of Almanacco del Mistero in 2014, which sounds about right.
