Francesco Artibani, who often teams with Lello Arena in writing the plots,
is one of the best new-generation Italian scripters. He can be paired to
Tito Faraci, in that both of them (or the three of them, including Arena)
depict new scenarios where Mickey Mouse is satirized, while the "heroes"
are Peg-Leg-Pete or Casey or even Rock Sassi (a new character, rivaling
with Casey in the local police).
I like these stories A LOT. In this week's "Topolino" (issue # 2301) there
is a great new story by Artibani and Arena, drawn by Silvia Ziche.
Corrado Mastantuono is an excellent young artist, and he draws mice even
better than the ducks. Silvia Ziche I love the best, but I am maybe unfair
because she did two drawings for me, while Mastantuono did only one...   ;-)
