Nastavljamo s najavama, i sa velikim zadovoljstvom predstavljamo gosta 10. MSV-a (2025.) — Mauro Laurenti!
Mauro je započeo svoj profesionalni put kroz studio Leonetti, a zatim nastavio s radom za Renza Barbierija. Radio je i kao politički karikaturista za dnevnik Paese Sera, te crtao za časopise izdavačke kuće Coniglio Editore. Prava prekretnica u njegovoj karijeri dolazi 1993. godine, kada započinje saradnju sa Sergio Bonelli Editore, radeći na legendarnom serijalu Zagor — saradnja koja traje do danas! Njegova premijerna epizoda bila je Noć krvoprolića, a od tada je Mauro nacrtao preko 30 epizoda redovne serije, nerijetko fokusirajući se na upečatljive ženske likove Zagorovog svijeta kao što su Blondie, Gambit i Marie Laveau.
Osim Zagora, radio je i na serijalu Dampyr, gdje je do sada nacrtao šest izdanja, te dva izdanja za regularnu seriju Texa. Posebno je poznat i po tome što je uradio sve naslovne strane kolekcionarskog izdanja Zagora u izdanju Veselog četvrtka.
Mauro je jedan od ključnih autora modernog Bonellija — njegov stil donosi dramatičnost, dinamiku i istančan osjećaj za karakter. Pravi majstor stripa! 🎨🪄
We continue our guest announcements for the 10th MSV (2025) — and it’s our great pleasure to welcome Mauro Laurenti!
Mauro began his professional journey at the Leonetti studio, later working for Renzo Barbieri. He also made his mark as a political cartoonist for the daily Paese Sera, and contributed to magazines under Coniglio Editore. A turning point came in 1993 when Mauro began his long-standing collaboration with Sergio Bonelli Editore, joining the iconic Zagor series — a partnership that continues to this day! His debut episode, Bloodshed Night, was published that same year, and since then Mauro has illustrated over 30 episodes of the main series, often spotlighting strong female characters such as Blondie, Gambit, and Marie Laveau.
Beyond Zagor, he has worked on Dampyr (illustrating six issues) and contributed two issues to the regular Tex series. He is also the artist behind all the covers of the collector’s edition of Zagor by Veseli četvrtak.
Mauro is one of the defining artists of modern Bonelli comics — his style blends bold drama, dynamic composition, and deep character expression. A true comic book master! 🎨🪄
