Berardi (texts) and Milazzo (drawings) are the Italian creators behind the western comic Ken Parker, originally published by Bonelli. Their collaboration is praised for literate scripts and Milazzo's distinctive soft, watercolor-inflected art.

Ken Parker is a western comic series created by Giancarlo Berardi (writer) and Ivo Milazzo (artist) and was published by Bonelli; the series is noted for its humane protagonist, cinematic storytelling, cultural references and high-quality art that led to production difficulties under Bonelli's schedule.

The reviews praise Ken Parker as a pioneering, humane western comic whose strength lies in Berardi's modern, idea-rich scripts and Milazzo's soft, instantly recognisable art. Readers note the series' social awareness and cinematic storytelling. Critique focuses on the difficulty of sustaining that quality under Bonelli's production schedule.

For:Readers of classic and literary comics, fans of westerns, Bonelli readers, comics historians

 Ken Parker was of an embarrassing humanity: never before had a character shown himself to be so weakly human (he had lost his wife, was often depressed and lonely, hated the use of weapons) but equally strong in denouncing injustices, throwing himself first to save a life or claiming rights for workers treated like slaves (we are still at the end of the 19th century).
