Andrea Castellan (b. Gorizia, Italy, 1967), known by his pen name "Casty," made his Italian comics debut in 1994 as a scripter for Guido Silvestri's Cattivik; in 1999, he began drawing for it as well. In 2003, Casty branched into Disney comics: first as a writer, then as an artist on Mickey Mouse adventures. Casty's works, founded on the art style and continuity of Disney legends Romano Scarpa and Floyd Gottfredson, quickly made him a fan favorite. Stefano Zanchi (b. Imperia, Italy, 1990) began drawing Italian Disney comics at 21, making him one of the youngest talents in the field at the time. Zanchi quickly rose from producing short gag stories to collaborating with larger creative teams on major Disney miniseries, including Duck Avenger and Donald Quest multi-part stories. David Gerstein is an animation and comics researcher, writer, and editor best known for his work with The Walt Disney Company and its licensees. His published projects include Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: The Don Rosa Library (Fantagraphics, 2014-2018) and Mickey Mouse: The Ultimate History (with J.B. Kaufman; Taschen, 2018). He lives in North Carolina.
