Gipsy, by Enrico Marini
Enrico Marini studied art at the School of Fine Arts in Bêle. Since an early age, he was fascinated by comics and Japanese manga. He published his first work in the specialized magazine Strapazin and La Tribune de Genève. At the end of the eighties, he got contracted by publisher Alpen and illustrated 'Olivier Varèse', a juvenile series written subsequently by Marelle, Thierry Smolderen and Georges Pop.
Rapaces, by Marini
After four albums with this character, Marini switched genres and collaborated with Smolderen on 'Gipsy', published by Les Humanoïdes Associés from 1993. In 1996 he associated himself with writer Stephen Desberg and illustrated the western diptych 'L'Étoile du Desert' for publisher Dargaud. Then, with Jean Dufaux, he produced detective series 'Rapaces' for the same publisher from 1998. Again with Desberg, Marini launched 'Le Scorpion' in 2001.
