Rino Albertarelli was born in Cesena, Italy on June 8,
1908 and was an Italian comics artist and illustrator. He moved to Milan in
1928, debuting in 1935 for the comic magazines ArgentoVivo! and L'Audace. Two
years later he moved to Mondadori, for which he created his most famous
character, Kit Carson, as well as the series Dottor Faust and Gino e Gianni.
After World War II he slowed his activities as a comic artist, only making a
few Emilio Salgari's adaptations for the magazine Salgari and collaborating
with some French magazines.
In the 1950s Albertarelli abandoned comics to focus on
his activity as an illustrator. After a long hiatus, he returned to comics in
1973 with Daim Press' series I protagonisti del West (also known as I
protagonisti), with which he collaborated until his death on September 21, 1974
in Milan. The series was eventually completed by Sergio Toppi.
