Marco Rota (Italian: [ˈmarko ˈrɔːta]; born 18 September 1942) is an Italian Disney comic artist who served as editor-in-chief of Disney Italia from 1974 to 1988.
His Disney stories feature a style largely influenced by Carl Barks.[1]
Life and career
Rota was born in Milan. His first comic work, Steve Morgan il trappolatore, was published in 1958 in the magazine Collana Scudo.[2] During the 1960s, he drew stories of Superman and Batman, as well as erotic comics.[2]
Rota made his first Disney comic using the Mickey Mouse character in 1971. He would go on, however, to work primarily with Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck stories. His best-known Disney-related work is Andold "Wild Duck" Temerary, Donald's Dark Age Scottish alter ego; as well as the 1984 story From Egg to Duck (Italian: Buon compleanno, Paperino!, lit. 'Happy birthday, Donald!'), Donald's biography.[2]
In addition to working with established characters, Rota also does original work.[2] As of 2012, he works for the Danish publisher Egmont.[3][needs update]
In 2019, he returned to collaborate with Topolino with the story Ingorgopoli.[4]
