Catalogue information
Dino Attanasio, whose real name is Edoardo Attanasio (born May 8, 1925 in Milan), is a Belgian comic book author of Italian origin, the most prolific of European comics according to Paul Delvaux. From the mid-1950s to the end of the 1960s, Attanasio enjoyed his greatest success "despite a trait that was not free from weaknesses." First in Le journal Tintin, with the adventures of Signor Spaghetti, a series created with René Goscinny, which he designed from 1957. Then in the weekly Women of Today, when he adapted a comic strip from 1959 to 1962 the adventures of Bob Morane, from the novels of which he illustrates the covers and inserts since their creation in 1953 by Henri Vernes. However, he was quickly replaced by Gérald Forton. Finally, still in Le journal Tintin, from 1961 to 1968 he took up the series Modeste et Pompon, following the departure of André Franquin from the journal. In 1968, Attanasio left Le journal Tintin. He then worked above all for the Italian press (Ambroise and Gino in Corriere dei Piccoli from 1965) and Flemish (notably Johnny Goodbye, with Martin Lodewijk and Patty Klein, in Eppo and Pep).
