Max Bunker, A pseudonym used by Luciano Secchi (born 24 August 1939) is an Italian comic book author. Secchi was born in Milan. His career started with a western style comic book Maschera Nera (Black Mask), in 1962, and went on to enjoy success with Kriminal and Satanik in collaboration with Magnus (Roberto Raviola). Also with Magnus, the series Maxmagnus proved successful, though arguably Bunker's most famous comics series is Alan Ford (published in May 1969), for which he wrote scenarios, with Magnus responsible for the artwork in the first 75 issues.
