In his own right Manara has been commended on his skills as a scenarist, as with the western (1982, The Paper Man). Manara also completed two stories working with another of his heroes, Federico Fellini. The character "HP" is based on Manara's friend, the Italian comics creator Hugo Pratt, and a collaborator on some of Manara's most acclaimed work, initially (1983, Indian Summer) and later El Gaucho (1991). For Manara created the first stories featuring HP and Giuseppe Bergman, which grew to become a large body of work. Manara and Pisú later went on to publish Lo Scimmiotto ( The Ape) along the story of the Chinese Monkey King in Alter Linus in 1976, and with Alfredo Castelli, L'Uomo delle Nevi ( The Snowman) in 1978.ĭuring this period Manara began publishing work in several Franco-Belgian comics magazines including Charlie Mensuel, Pilote and L'Écho des savanes.
With Pisú Manara launched the publications and in 1974 and the series, and with writer Mino Milani the series in 1975. Joining the youth magazine, he worked with Rubino, Carlo Barbieri, Mino Milani and Silverio Pisú. In 1970 he illustrated for the magazine Terror, and starting in 1971 drew the erotic series written by Francisco Rubino, issued in small format by publisher Erregi. After architecture and painting studies, he made his comics debut in 1969 drawing for Genius, a Fumetti neri series of pocket books from publisher Furio Vanio in the wake of the popularity of Kriminal and Satanik.
