Notable works

Valentina Romeo (also known by the diminutive, Val Romeo; Messina, 30 October 1977),[1] is an Italian cartoonist, illustrator, and billiards player.

Biography

She attended the Scuola Italiana di Comix in Naples,[1] where she later worked as an illustrator on some projects for school publishing. In 2006, she began her collaboration for Jonathan Steele (Star Comics version),[1] joining the staff of Federico Memola [it]'s character.

Romeo is also a billiards champion, winning the Italian women's title[2] and the first European medal in the Italian women's pool for both individual and team. She is a member of the Italian national pool team for about 10 years.

In 2007, Romeo drew a color comics strip story on the life of Saint Giuseppe Moscati, published in No. 57 of Net magazine. In 2009, again for Star Comics, she produced two albums of the limited comics series Rourke, created by Memola.

In August 2010, she made her debut at Sergio Bonelli Editore on the pages of issue 231 of Nathan Never, and in 2011, she collaborated on the creation of Dylan Dog Color Fest no. 6,[3] illustrating the story entitled Tagli aziendali, collaborating with Chiara Caccivio and Ketty Formaggio. Meanwhile, Romeo also participated in a project created by Corriere del Mezzogiorno, Scuola Comix and Napoli Comicon, called Nero Napoletano.[4]

On 15 March 2012, she collaborated with Paola Barbato and Matteo Bussola by drawing episode no. 34 of the webcomic Davvero.[5] In the same year, issues 254 and 258 of Nathan Never, drawn by Romeo, were published.[6][7] In 2013, she returned to the Dylan Dog Gigante series with the story "La neighbor di casa", with the texts by Pasquale Ruju [it]. Romeo joins the staff of Morgan Lost [it], a comic series by Claudio Chiaverotti [it], drawing two issues in 2016: number 4, entitled "La rosa near", and number 12, "Killer Clown".
