Biography
Dino Leonetti attended artschool and later the Accademia di Scenografia which led to his involvement in the world of films.
He turned to drawing comics in 1962, producing episodes of the Italian version of "Mandrake the Magician". Other early strips included "L'Uomo Masherato", "Fantasm" and, with Francesco Verola, "Demoniak".

Leonetti also drew episodes of the "Storia di Roma" series and created the series "Flower" and "Marshall Jim" for Corrier Boy. Later produced girls' stories and illustrations for the paperback market.
