Massimo Rotundo (born 11 April 1955) is an Italian comics artist.



After attending the Academy of Fine Arts in his native city, Rome, he made his debut as comics artist in 1978 in collaboration with Eura Editoriale. Later he worked for other publications, like L'Eternauta, Comic Art, Orient Express, Heavy Metal and Ècho des Savanes. In particular, Rotundo stands out for his erotic comics, with the series Ex Libris Eroticis, which recalls the tradition of illustrated erotic literature from the early 1900s. His growing reputation in the erotic comics genre led him to work in the French market as well, where he is well known and appreciated. He is also widely appreciated for his adaptation of literary masterpieces, like Honoré de Balzac’s novel La peau de Chagrin, Pasolini (based on Jean Dufaux's script) and Luciano De Crescenzo's The Greek Myths.

In Italy his work includes several projects with Sergio Bonelli Editore, starting with his drawings for the comic book Brendon. He also became the official cover artist of Bonelli, starting from the 45th issue of the series. In 2007 he worked as comics and cover artist for the mini-series Volto Nascosto, also published by Bonelli. Furthermore, he collaborated with the writer Giuseppe Ferrandino as comics artist for Nero, Sandokan and Sera Torbara. He also worked with French publisher Delcourt on the comic book Prediction with a script by Pierre Makyo.

Rotundo is one of the founders, as well as a teacher, in the comics Academy “Scuola Romana del Fumetto” in Rome. He works regularly in cinema and theatre: as illustrator, he has collaborated with the costume designer Milena Canonero in several films and plays. As sketch artist he has worked for the films Crusade by Paul Verhoeven, Titus by Julie Taymor (Academy Awards Nomination for costumes), The Wolfman by Joe Johnstone and Gangs of New York by Martin Scorsese. He has also worked as character designer for animation films, like the series Ulysses (Premio Kineo-Diamanti Cartoon On The Bay in Venice - Venice International Film Festival 2012), produced by Rai (the State-owned Italian National broadcasting company) and “The Animation Band”.

He has several awards to his credit, such as The Yellow Kid (de) (1990), as best Italian comics artist, the Gran Guinigi (it) from Lucca in the same year, and the F. M. di Trani, City of Foiano award (1992).

Maurizio Dotti

Maurizio Dotti ( born 10 October 1958 ) is an Italian comics artist.



He started his comics carreer from 1991 , working with Newspaper.

He initially built puppets and scenery for the theater of the Colla.

He realized in 1997 the Special of Zagor and pencils of ' the West Almanac of 1998 (the inks were made ??by Alaric Gattia ), experimenting with Tex Willer , both heros of Sergio Bonelli Editore .

Later he became one of the leading authors of another character of the same publishing house, Dampyr.

Tex - The Lonesome Rider - Joe Kubert





Joseph "Joe" Kubert was an American comic book artist, art teacher and founder of The Kubert School. 


He is best known for his work on the DC Comics characters Sgt. Rock and Hawkman.


We got to know about this fantastic artist when he partnered with Claudio Nizzi to provide us a wonderful book 


Tex The Lonesome Rider





As against the adventures of Tex and Pards - Tex, Carson, Kit and Tiger here Claudio Nizzi had written a fast paced storyline where our Tex travels alone on a coarse route to bring back justice.





Joe Kubert had given Tex a different look which reflects clearly Tex as opposed to the old Tex versions.

This book Tex - The Lonesome Rider is published in English in America by SAF comics 


Which is available -- http://www.kubertartstore.com/kubert-exclusives/kubert-tex-the-lonesome-rider/


Later by Dark Horse as a hardbound version -- https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/24-773/Tex-The-Lonesome-Rider-HC


They are also giving the digital version of the book through Kindle edition.


I just got the new hardbound version of the book which look very premium and good.








Reading through this masterpiece is a super fast Ranger ride, which keeps your pulse high.

Few pages from that new book:






The book is an awesome read for all texians around the world.

Yours

But there is a star who continues to shine more than all, and not to mention much to discover who he is: He is none other than our timeless Tex!

The honor of the baptism of this new full experience of the colors, carton and large-format (22.5 x 30.5 cm) is a big name in the comic world panorama band: Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri !

Not coincidentally, his name is often claimed numerous times by the readers who write to Sergio Bonelli Editore or the public attending the various exhibitions in the Italian publisher participates a little all over Italy with the presence of texianos authors. Woven adventure by Eleuteri Serpieri in full copyright garments, shall not cease to amaze with its rich and dynamic pages, offering an unprecedented look for Tex, showing the hero in the guise of a reckless youth.
