Pelle also worked on the adult-oriented indy comic Double Impact China & Jazz (Volume 2) #2, written by Ricky Carrelero during this period.
In 1993, Pelle received a page-long profile along with other industry artists of that year in the book Comic-Book Superstars by Don and Maggie Thompson.
He then drew an issue of Deathstroke The Terminator for DC Comics and a section of The Big Book of Freaks by Factoid Books both in 1994.
