Franco Bonvicini
Bonvi, pen name of Franco Bonvicini , was an Italian comic book artist, creator of Sturmtruppen and Nick Carter strips.
Bonvicini was born either in Parma or Modena, in the Emilia Romagna region of Northern Italy. The correct site is unknown, as his mother registered him in both places to obtain twice the amount of warrationing food stamps. The author hinted at this fact in one of his Sturmtruppen comic books, where he usually hid autobiographical notes inside the dark humour of the books.
