Angelo Stano (born January 6, 1953) is an Italian comic book artist. He is mainly famous for his drawings for Dylan Dog, for which he drew the very first story. He is the current cover artist of the series.
Angelo Stano was born at Santeramo in Colle, in the province of Bari (Puglia). He graduated at the Politecnico di Milano in 1971, returning to his native region where he began to work for advertisement.
He made his debut for comics in 1973 with a reduction of Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon. Two years later he produced several stories for Audax, published by Mondadori.
After several collaborations with other publishers (Ediperiodici, Edifumetto, Staff di If, Corrier Boy, Universo), in 1985 he was chosen by Sergio Bonelli Editore to draw the first episode of Dylan Dog, written by Tiziano Sclavi. Stano drew it in a style partly inspired to that of Egon Schiele. Stano replaced Claudio Villa as cover artist for the series with #42.
From 1981 to 1999 he taught at the Scuola del Fumetto in Milan.
