Vittorio Giardino is considered as one of the most sophisticated Italian comics authors. The artist is a former engineer, a profession he abandoned at the age of 31 to pursue his passion for comics. He is well known abroad, and his work has been translated and distributed in 18 countries. Vittorio Giardino interprets the graphic style called "Linea Chiara" and freely ranges between genres: from the crime drama (Sam Pezzo) to the spy (Max Fridman), from the erotic (Little Ego) to the Bildungsroman (Jonas Fink)
