    *Guido Silvestri is considered one of Italy's best humorists. After several studies and jobs, Guido, better known as Silver, joined the Bonvi Studios. He debuted in 1971, drawing 'Cattivik' in Tiramolla, and cooperating on the 'Nick Carter' series by Bonvi and Guido de Maria.
    In 1973, he created 'Lupo Alberto' in Undercomics. This series, about a crazy wolf, was an instant hit and soon found its way to other magazines, like Corriere dei Ragazzi and Eureka.
