Guido Buzzelli was born in Roma on the 27th of July in 1927 and died in Roma on the 25 of January in 1992. He is a comic artist, illustrator, Italian painter. He is considered one of the great masters of the Italian comic, he gets defined the Michelangelo of monsters in 1974 and the Italian Goya in 1978.
