Giulia Francesca Massaglia

Giulia Francesca Massaglia is a comic book artist born in Asti (Italy). At age 13, she bought her first comic book, a reprint of issue No. 147 of *Dylan Dog* (*Polvere di stelle*). Since then, she has developed a deep passion for sequential art, which led her—after earning her degree in “Cataloging of Cultural Heritage”—to attend the International Academy of Comics in Turin, where she graduated with the highest possible grade. In 2013, she began working as an illustrator for the publishing house Lo Scarabeo, creating the 78 pencil illustrations for the “Mucha Tarot” (2014). From that point on, she also took on coloring work, illustrating various collectible tarot decks such as the “Romantic Tarot” (2015) and “After Tarot” (2016), as well as the publisher’s 2018 astrological calendar. As an artist in 2014, she began collaborating with Luigi Piccatto on the horror series *Dylan Dog* for Sergio Bonelli Editore. She also created the pencil drawings for the 2016 graphic novel *From Caporetto to Vittoria*, which tells the story of a young Italian soldier during World War I. Currently, she continues to work as an artist and illustrator and hopes to soon establish herself as a freelance designer in the world of comics.
