Raffaele CORMIO (Ralph Hunter, Parvus)

Nasce in una frazione di Narni (Terni, Italia) l’11 novembre 1941. A Milano dal 1952, inizia giovanissimo una lunga collaborazione con le Edizioni Alpe di Giuseppe Caregaro.

Nel 1961 aiuta Galep [Aurelio Galleppini] e Francesco Gamba nell’inchiostrazione delle strisce dell’avventura di Tex con Mano Gialla, su testo di Gianluigi Bonelli.

Nel 1962, per l’Editoriale Corno, sostituisce progressivamente Paolo Piffarerio nel disegno delle avventure fantascientifiche di Atomik, scritte da Esselle [Luciano Secchi], e nella progettazione e realizzazione delle copertine delle testate western Kansas Kid e Maschera Nera. Nel 1964 disegna anche i numeri 2 e 4 di Kriminal, su testi di Bunker [Luciano Secchi].

Dall’editore Sergio Bonelli viene incaricato della art direction della testata Zagor e collabora anche scrivendo per Il piccolo ranger.

Negli anni Settanta comincia a lavorare anche per il settimanale Il Giornalino, dove esordisce con il personaggio Mascheruomo (testi e disegni, un’umoristica parodia del fumetto nero).

Abile e preciso nel suo lavoro, è stimato come grafico, sceneggiatore, letterista, inchiostratore, senza tuttavia riuscire a raggiungere una vera realizzazione e un’identità di autore alla quale aspira, nascondendo l’insoddisfazione e una crescente depressione dietro l’autoironia.

Il suo ultimo gesto coglie così di sorpresa colleghi e amici.

Si toglie la vita a Milano (Italia) a 39 anni, il 25 febbraio 1981.

Bitter people/Better people Roberto Benigni

Bitter people/Better people  Roberto Benigni

A cartoonist often receives requests, dedications on published volumes, original drawings with dedications, and original panels. It is not uncommon to receive such requests also from famous people. As a rule, at least in our case, it makes no difference to us. It has occurred over the years to send drawings, copies or other items to a number of comics lovers.

Almost everyone says thanks, usually via email or sometimes through a card. And from the closest people (in the sense of personal relationships), it’s through a phone call. Sometimes it’s even via a small or symbolic gift.

But this is not always a custom among the famous people. But let’s not talk about those who, after making a request, do not find the time to say thanks. Let’s leave them to their rudeness.

Let us talk about beautiful people instead.

Roberto Benigni and Pinocchio

Not to mention Roberto Benigni, years ago we read that he was preparing the film Pinocchio (his version, not that of Garrone). We had an original copy of Galleppini‘s Pinocchio in the studio and we thought he would be delighted to have it. Moreover, Benigni, a great fan of Tex Willer, could not help but love a work by Galep ante Tex. Two weeks went by (the post office is always the post office) and one evening in the studio, the phone rang. It was Roberto, thanking us.
