Teen, Adult

Born in 1966, originally from Padua, and after having climbed the ranks of different publishing houses, Antonio Menin made his debut in the world of sequential art in 1994, when he was among the finalists of the Pratocomics competition for emerging authors. He then worked with minor publishing houses, fanzines and small self-publications; he also worked in the field of commercial illustration by creating drawings and 3D animations for short advertisements. In 2001, he collaborated with Edizioni Orione, in Turin, for which he drew four issues of Ares, in the Fantasy Warriors series. In this period, he began a collaboration with Cedric Rassat: the effort resulted in Tony Pastello, a project proposed to Glénat (it has not yet seen the light of day, due to publication issues). In 2004 he went to Free Books, where he drew the works of Giuseppe di Bernardo and Desdy Metus, L'insonne (Desdy Metus, L'insomniaque) by Andrea J. Polidori. In 2005 Federico Memola invited him to join the team that would work on Jonathan Steel for Star Comics - a publishing house with which he still collaborates. He is currently working on a new issue of Jonathan Steel entitled L'arte del furto (The Art of Theft). In 2006 he collaborated with several Venetian communication agencies, drawing advertising illustrations and storyboards, working on the graphic layout of educational brochures for the provincial administration of Padua. For the Veneto region, he produced Le radici del ricordo, a work on the exodus from Istria and Bullo Fasullo, a comic strip designed for an awareness campaign against bullying. For the Veneto region, he also worked on the graphic art of a video game intended to raise awareness on food issues among adolescents. In 2017 and 2019 he published the diptych Fièvre for DBDO, with a script by Philippe Pelaez, and he's currently working on a new diptych, Les Chroniques Cycliques, with the same publisher.
