Giovan Battista Carpi (November 16, 1927 – March 8, 1999) was an Italian comics artist from Genoa. Carpi worked for Disney comics from 1953 until his death in 1999. He mainly did art for Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck comics, although he occasionally drew Mickey Mouse stories as well. In 1969, Carpi co-created Paperinik (Donald Duck superhero alter-ego), together with writer Guido Martina. He is also remembered for serving as director of the Italian Disney Academy for young cartoonists for a number of years. Among Carpi's non-Disney creations, there are the comic characters Geppo and Nonna Abelarda.
