Marco Cosimo D'Amico was born in Rome in 1976. Following his university studies in scientific engineering, he dedicated himself to his two real passions: comic books (as a member of the International Comic Book School in Rome) and aikido. In 2008, he wrote his first book, "Moksha," illustrated by Roberto Ricci and published by Editions Laffont. He followed that up in 2016 with "Le Coeur de l'ombre" published by Dargaud ("The Heart of Shadows," Europe Comics), illustrated by Roberto Ricci and Laura Iorio.
