Roberto Diso

Roberto Diso was born in Rome on April 16, 1932. At the age of twenty-two he collaborated with Il Vittorioso, then worked for a long time in England, for Fleetway, and in France, where he produced the series Lancelot and Dan Panther. In collaboration with Alberto Giolitti's studio he also worked on several fantasy stories intended for the German market, and in 1965 he drew some episodes of Goldrake, an adult comic created by Renzo Barbieri.

In 1974 came his encounter with Sergio Bonelli, who entrusted him with two stories for the Collana Rodeo and then involved him in the production of Mister No, a character he reshaped, introducing significant changes from Gallieno Ferri's version. For Mister No, of which he is the principal artist, Diso also produced the covers starting from issue no. 116, La valle dei morti.

In 1985 he also tried his hand at writing, producing the words and artwork for Rodo, a character created for the magazine Giungla! and also published in L'Eternauta. Again in L'Eternauta, in 1992, a short story he illustrated from a script by Alfredo Castelli appeared for the series Zona X presenta, while for Comic Art he had also illustrated Rudy X, written by Rinaldo Traini.

Although he worked mainly on Mister No, for Sergio Bonelli Editore he also produced stories of Tex and Volto nascosto, as well as two graphic novels: Mohican and Linea di sangue.
