Well, that's actually a good question. If you want to know the answer let's go back in time, when i was just a 7-8 year old child that were going at elementary school.
The Beginning of a career
It was 2014, the year when Five Nights At Freddy's came out. In my class, FNAF was the only topic of conversation.
"Nothing unusual" you might say, and actually, IT WAS nothing unusual because i liked that game, until one day...
One of my classmates started to create short stories based on the FNAF universe: tiny books of about 6-7 pages full of
drawings. And the stories were interesting too. After some time, that classmate started to make a series of that FNAF based stories.
And, of course, he became pretty popular among the classmates.
I felt very jeaolus, because i wanted to be popular and receive attentions, so i've started to make my own little stories,
in order to compete with my classmate. So yes. I've started to make comics for a selfish reason, but that selfish reason was going to be
replaced by another reason.
The First success
When i first started making short books full of stories, no one wanted to read it, and i felt very sad. But then, i created what i can say was
my first success in my story-creator career. It was called "Dear Jack and the overhang adventure" or "Dear Jack e l'avventura a strapiombo" in italian.
"Why the name of the group of your protagonists was the same name of an italian pop band formed in 2012 ?" you might ask. Actually, i don't know: i once heard one of their songs, i liked it and so i "gently borrowed"
their group name and used it to name most of my childhood comics and books's titles.
But the important thing was that when i receive my first compliments for my stories that weren't come from my parents, i felt very happy. I have understood that
making stories not for competion, but for the entertainment and enjoiment of other people, makes them pretty much better.
2018-19: The dramatic Stop
My comic-creator career was going pretty well, until 2018-19: i was in a vacation with my parents in S.Cassiano, a city on the mountains.
I've started to make a super hero comic, and i wanted to finish it before the last day of holidays. But it took me some time to draw the final fight versus the
the "Great Cleaner", a villain that i created based on a Paperinik comic. It was the penultimate day of vacation, and i desperatly wanted to finish the comic,
so, in a moment of hurry, i putted in the fight big chungus, the famous 2018 meme, which destroyed the great cleaner in like two moves.
So yeah, i finished the comicbefore the end of the holidays, but after a few weeks, when i looked at that comic, i instantly had a lot of remorse: why have i did this? why did i cannot draw a
decent final fight? i asked to myself. So, full of shame and with my pride destroyed, i sadly stopped my career of making comics.
April 2022: The rebirth
It was the end of march 2022. I found my old comics and started to read them, to honor the great times. But when i took the comic with big chungus, i started to
feel ashamed again. But this time, instead of blaming myself for that stupid choice, i said: "Why can't i correct this mistake ?"
"Why can't i create a whole new comic to correct this mistake, and make the story decent again ?"
So i took some papers, my school pencil case and a binder, sat on my desk, and created the comic "Swag Team Super Heroes in: Triple Attack" or
"Swag Team Super Heroes in: Triplo Attacco" in italian. i finished what i can say it's the renaissance of my comic maker career.
Until now
From april 2022, i made 6 comics, and a 7th is in progress. Since the theme of super heroes always fascinated me, i started to make a comic saga with
original characters, stories and powers always, obviously, with some "borrowed things" or with some references to some movies, videogames, anime, etc.
