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.

Massimo De Vita (born 29 May 1941) is an Italian comics artist and writer, now retired. De Vita was born in Milan, the son of artist Pier Lorenzo De Vita, who used to draw Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck stories in the early age of Italian Disney comics. Massimo started his career working in animation. Then he followed in his father's footsteps, getting into the freelance production of Disney comics in the early 60's. At first, De Vita was tasked to illustrate other writer's stories, mostly featuring Disney ducks. Later, he specialised on Mickey Mouse, sometimes taking duties on scripts. His Mickey stories often have an historical or fantasy setting, or are based on archeological adventures. His curvy, sometimes sketchy art style has made him one of the most distinctive artist in Disney comics.

Besides Disney, Ziche's comics and vignettes have appeared in a number of Italian magazines, like Linus and Cuore. Her most famous original creation is Lucrezia, a humorous series exploring the funny side of modern womanhood. Her latest graphic novel is the autobiographical La Gabbia ('The Cage', 2022).
