Dampyr

What happens when horror crosses the boundaries of reality?
Dampyr, created by Mauro Boselli and Maurizio Colombo, is Sergio Bonelli Editore's long-running horror series starring Harlan Draka, the son of a human woman and a vampire, destined to fight the Masters of the Night and other supernatural forces across the world.
As artist, I contributed to the series by exploring its dark atmospheres, supernatural characters and real-world settings through expressive storytelling and cinematic page composition. Working within its established horror universe, I combined realistic drawing with dramatic contrasts and dynamic visual narration, bringing my own artistic approach to the world of Dampyr.

Corona VS Comics was the world's first online comics festival, created in response to the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Conceived and directed by It Comics, the project transformed an unprecedented global emergency into a four-day digital festival, bringing together artists, publishers, journalists and readers through live interviews, drawing sessions, discussions and original programming.
The experience demonstrated that comics could successfully engage audiences in a fully digital environment. Building on that achievement, the project naturally evolved into It Comics Channel, an ongoing online platform dedicated to interviews, documentaries, live events and original video content, extending the festival's mission beyond the emergency and creating a permanent space for the comics community.
As creator and artistic director, I developed the project's concept, visual identity, editorial format and production workflow, coordinating guests, programming and live broadcasting while defining the visual language of both the festival and its evolution into It Comics Channel.
