Who was Sergio Bonelli?
Sergio Bonelli was an Italian comic book author and publisher.
Sergio Bonelli was born in Milan, the son of Gian Luigi Bonelli, the creator of Tex Willer and many other Italian comic strips. In order to distinguish himself from his father, he usually wrote his scripts under the pen name Guido Nolitta. He made his debut as a scriptwriter in 1957, with the translation into Italian of the Spanish series Verdugo Ranch, for which he wrote the final episode. In 1958 Bonelli created his first character Un ragazzo nel Far West, also illustrated by Franco Bignotti. In the late 1950s and early 1960s he wrote several episodes of Little Ranger.
In 1960 Bonelli wrote Il Giudice Bean, a mini-series of six adventures, illustrated by Sergio Tarquinio. In the same year he met the illustrator Gallieno Ferri, with whom he created Zagor in 1961. Bonelli wrote almost all Zagor stories until 1980. In 1975 he created the Mister No series.
In 1977 Bonelli wrote the script of the book L'Uomo del Texas. He also wrote numerous Tex Willer stories, starting with issue #183 in the late 1970s. In 1990 he created the mini-series River Bill.
