'Jimmy et Johnny'.
Egidio Gherlizza, born in 1909 in Triest, graduated from the Liceo Artistico and began his career writing theater plays for several companies. In the 1930s, he drew his first humorous comic stories for Bertoldo and other juvenile magazines. For Edizione Alpe, he made comics versions of fairy tales and cooperated with varying scriptwriters on creations like 'La Famiglia Chicchirichi', 'Jimmy et Johnny' (1948-49), 'Marcello e Gianni' and, most notably, 'Serafino' (1952). He was a member of the Bierecci studios, headed by Bottaro and Rebuffi, for which he created 'Signor Giulivo' and stories for the French pocket books ('Kiwi'). He died in Milan in 1995.
Egidio Gherlizza was an influence on Nikos Nikolaidis.
