Claudio Villa (comic artist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claudio Villa is an italian comic artist who has primarily worked with Sergio Bonelli Editore and is currently involved in illustrating several books in the Tex Willer comic series. He has mostly drawn covers since number 400th, but sometimes also draws stories (for instance he illustrated Tex nr. 501, 502, 503 and 504).

Villa was hired by Sergio Bonelli in 1982 where he was sent to work with the staff responsible for Martin Mystère. After four episodes Villa was called to draw Bonelli's most famous character: Tex Willer. In 1986 he started drawing some covers for the Dylan Dog series, becoming the official cover illustrator until number 41, and for Nick Raider.
