An Italian comics scriptwriter of long standing, Alessandro Sisti (1960-present) began his comics career at Staff di IF, a funny-animal art studio tasked in the 1980s with various franchises, both Disney and non. Coming into his own in the 1990s, Sisti earned acclaim for early issues of Paperinik New Adventures , a series (reprinted today as IDW's Duck Avenger ) bringing Donald Duck's superhero exploits into a more modern and serious environment. Following on this popular triumph, Sisti went on to scribe adventures starring the Junior Woodchucks and a wealth of Disney feature film characters, from the rats of Ratatouille to the Pirates of the Caribbean. Apart from basic Disney comics work, Sisti has acted as a teacher of other Disney talents at Milan's Accademia Disney, and has continued with non-Disney comics work--as both a historian and as an artist--including an adaptation of Anne of Green Gables . Francesco Artibani is an Italian cartoonist, known for his collaboration as a screenwriter at Disney Italy on Topolino , Paperinik New Adventures , MMMM and WITCH as well as for the co-creation of Monster Allergy and Kylion .
