Mauro Boselli

Mauro Boselli (born in Milan on August 30, 1953) is a scriptwriter, editor, translator, and all-around comics professional. After an apprenticeship as an assistant to Gianluigi Bonelli and the creation of pioneering “comics for TV” (the series Tex & Company, produced with Ferruccio Alessandri and Giorgio Bonelli), in 1984 he joined Sergio Bonelli Editore as an editor of the magazines Pilot and Orient Express.

A versatile factotum engaged in translations, revisions, layouts, corrections, and the writing of articles and booklets accompanying the Speciali, he co-wrote with Gianluigi Bonelli the plot of a first Tex story, La minaccia invisibile, and later the miniseries River Bill from a plot by Guido Nolitta. His first episode of Zagor, a character he would oversee editorially for more than ten years, dates to 1991. In 1994, with Il passato di Carson, he joined the very small staff of Tex, and in 2000 he created, together with Maurizio Colombo, the horror series Dampyr. Since 2012 he has been the curator of Tex, for whom he wrote the character's “official” autobiography published by Mondadori, the novel Tex Willer. La storia della mia vita. To date, Boselli has produced more than fifty thousand pages of comics for Sergio Bonelli Editore and has received numerous industry awards.
