Carl Barks (March 27, 1901 – August 25, 2000) was an American Disney Studio illustrator and comic book creator, who invented Duckburg and many of its inhabitants, such as Scrooge McDuck (1947), Gladstone Gander (1948), the Beagle Boys (1951), The Junior Woodchucks (1951), Gyro Gearloose (1952), Cornelius Coot (1952), Flintheart Glomgold (1956), John D. Rockerduck (1961) and Magica De Spell (1961). The quality of his scripts and drawings earned him the nicknames "The Duck Man" and "The Good Duck Artist". People who work for Disney generally do so in relative anonymity; the stories only carry Walt Disney's name and (sometimes) a short identification number. Prior to 1960, the creator of these stories remained a mystery to his readers. However, many readers recognized Barks' work and drawing style, and began to call him the Good Duck Artist, a label which stuck even after his true identity was discovered by John and Bill Spicer in 1959. After Barks received a 1960 visit from Bill and John Spicer and Ron Leonard, he was no longer anonymous, as his name soon became known to his readers. Writer-artist Will Eisner called him "the Hans Christian Andersen of comic books." In 1987, Barks was one of the three inaugural inductees of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.

His first novel, titled La vita in generale, appeared in 2015. Italian bio: Tito Faraci è nato a Gallarate nel 1965. È uno dei più importanti sceneggiatori italiani di fumetti. Ha creato storie per “Topolino” (Giorgio Cavazzano è stato – come usa dire lui stesso – il suo mentore), “Dylan Dog”, “Tex”, “Diabolik”, “Magico Vento”, tra gli altri, ed è stato uno dei primi scrittori italiani a lavorare anche per personaggi di fumetti americani come Spider-Man, Devil e Capitan America.

Per Feltrinelli ha pubblicato il romanzo La vita in generale (2015), la sceneggiatura dell’albo a fumetti Le entusiasmanti avventure di Max Middlestone e del suo cane alto trecento metri (con Sio; 2016; nuova edizione: 2018), Il pesce di lana e altre storie abbastanza belle (alcune anche molto belle, non tante, solo alcune) di Maryjane J. Jayne (con Sio; 2018) e, nella collana Feltrinelli Comics, la graphic novel di Alessandro Baricco, Senza sangue (2019; con Francesco Ripoli).

Cartoonist. An engineering graduate, he started writing comics since high school. He began his career as a screenwriter when he met an older two-year-old illustrator, Giorgio Cavazzano, who needed someone who could help him emerge as an independent artist. Pezzin began collaborating with Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, for which the Pezzin-Cavazzano duo produced numerous stories published both on Almanacco Topolino and on other Disney magazines. But Pezzin didn't just write Disney stories. Assisted by Cavazzano for the drawings, Pezzin wrote the texts of the series (created by him) Walkie and Talkie, Oscar and Tango, Smalto and Jonnhy and Captain Rogers. Later the duo separated and Pezzin, always continuing to work for Mondadori, also wrote comic stories for Bonelli like some by Zagor and several by Il piccolo ranger. After the comic book Topolino passes from Mondadori to Disney Italia, Pezzin starts dedicating itself almost exclusively to Disney characters, creating stories for various magazines such as Paperinik, Minni & company etc. With the designer Massimo De Vita he has designed numerous successful Disney comic sagas such as Once Upon a Time ... in America, The Lords of the Galaxy, the Adventures of Tops de Tops and the Time Machine Saga. He also scripted stories for younger children like those of Cip and Ciop and the Little Mermaid. In recent years Pezzin has stopped collaborating with Disney and has dedicated himself to the scripts of the Winx comic stories, published on the Winx Club.

Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion. Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong. Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands. The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world.

Luciano Bottaro (born 16 November 1931, died 25 November 2006) was an Italian cartoonist, particularly known for his work on Disney comics. Bottaro's comics had a simple and angular art style and often abounded with surreal tone. His works have been published in a number of European and South American countries. Some of his Disney duck stories have only recently appeared in North America, through the publisher Fantagraphics. Bottaro was born and lived most of his life in Rapallo, a small town on the shores of the Italian region of Liguria. His collaborators and pupils from the Bierreci studio - which he founded in 1968 - are sometimes referred to as the 'Rapallo school' of Italian cartoonists. Bottaro began working for the Disney production in 1951. This makes him a member of the first generation of Italian (and European) Disney cartoonists, alongside the likes of Giovan Battista Carpi and Romano Scarpa, and almost a contemporary of the American (back then anonymous) master Carl Barks. Bottaro illustrated Disney comics, especially featuring Goofy, Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge, till the middle of 80's. Many of his stories were co-created with writer Carlo Chendi, another founding member of the 'Rapallo school'. Outside of Disney, Bottaro worked a lot for the French publisher Alpe, for which he created Pepito, his most famous original character. Pepito got its own magazine in 1954, also featuring other Bottaro's series, such as Saturnino and I Postorici.
