SILVIO CAMBONI

COMIC BOOK ARTIST, AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR

Born in Santadi, Sardinia, Italy, on September 4, 1967, Silvio Camboni is an Italian comic book artist and author. Trained in architecture at the Politecnico di Milano, he began his professional career in comics in 1988 with Walt Disney, drawing extensively for Topolino and other Disney publications in Italy and abroad.

In 2001 he began working for the Franco-Belgian comics market. After Le Vin Illustré en Bandes Dessinées and Le Foot Illustré en Bandes Dessinées, he started a long collaboration with writer Denis-Pierre Filippi. In 2004 he took over the artwork of Gargouilles from volume 2, continuing through volume 7 for Les Humanoïdes Associés. Their collaboration continued with Néfésis for Dupuis and Les Mondes Cachés for Les Humanoïdes Associés.

For Vents d’Ouest/Glénat, Camboni drew Willy Wonder, written by Francesco Artibani, and later created with Filippi Le Voyage Extraordinaire, a twelve-volume adventure series published in four cycles between 2012 and 2025.

In 2018 he returned to the Disney universe from a different direction with Mickey et l’Océan Perdu, written by Denis-Pierre Filippi for Glénat’s Disney collection. The same team created Mickey et la Terre des Anciens in 2020. In 2022 Camboni and Filippi launched the science-fiction series Prima Spatia, also published by Vents d’Ouest/Glénat, whose third volume appeared in 2025.

Alongside comics and illustration, Camboni has also worked in animation, television, radio and satirical publishing. His animated work includes Dopo trent’anni prima and the films Mosca, Viva la neve and Santa Notte, produced for the Zecchino d’Oro with the Antoniano di Bologna and RAI.

He lives and works in Sardinia.
