Life
After staying in Libya , Senegal , Guinea and Mauritania at a young age, he drew his first well-known comic, Johnny Focus , in the mid-1970s , which was also published in German. He drew two albums for the album series Un Uomo un'Avventura (German: A man an adventure ), known in Italy , of which only the first was printed in German. Starting in 1984, he drew the adventure series Air Mail for the Dargaud publishing house about an American mail plane from the 1920s, followed by the comic Bab El-Mandeb for Corto Maltese magazine, which was set shortly before the start of the Italo-Ethiopian War .
His particular image segmentation and its in panel integrated onomatopoeia made him an innovator of Italian comics.
