Über den Autor / die Autorin
Francesco Dimitri is an Italian writer, author of the enthralling and seductive
The Book of Hidden Things novel. His novels are urban fantasy, sometimes with new, weird, steampunk or horror themes, often dealing with magic, ufology, anthropology and pop culture. After living in his native Manduria and in Rome, he moved to London permanently.
Among the Italian fantasy writers, he was one of the first to set his stories in an Italian city (in this case Rome).
Mario Alberti graduated in Economics with a thesis on distribution in the comics market. He began working as a professional illustrator and writer in 1990 with
Holly Connick, a short story published in the magazine Fumo di China.
In 1993, Alberti joined Sergio Bonelli Editore, working on the series
Nathan Never, and in 1994 won the Albertarelli prize with the episode "Il canto della balena". Since 1995 he's also been working on the series Legs Weaver, and in 1999 debuted in script-writing with "L'immortale".
In 2000, Alberti teamed up with Luca Enoch to co-write a project for the French market:
Morgana, published in 2002 by Les Humanoides Associes. Morgana has been translated in France, Italy, Germany, Portugal and Spain and the first issue was also released in the US. In 2004, he collaborated with writer Kurt Busiek to create the new series
Redhand.
Alberti has also illustrated some covers for Federico Memola's series
Jonathan Steele, and since 2006 has been collaborating with DC Comics doing covers for
Aquaman,
Wonder Woman,
Doctor Fate and
Shadowpact.
