Zerocalcare

Writer

Zerocalcare is the pen name of Michele Rech, an Italian cartoonist and graphic novelist. Reviews emphasize his use of Roman everyday life, recurring Armadillo character, pop-culture references and a mix of irony, politics and introspection.

Creator of La profezia dell'armadillo and other graphic novels; author of narrative works that often revisit themes of youth, politics and personal memory. Strappare lungo i bordi is referenced as a six-episode TV series in reviews.

Reviews highlight Zerocalcare's gift for turning ordinary, everyday situations into universal, emotionally rich stories. His work mixes ironic humor, political notes and dense pop-culture layering. Critics praise atmosphere, character work and the recurring Armadillo conscience.

For:Readers of comics and graphic novels, fans of Italian pop culture, people interested in introspective and political comics.

 Calcare's strength lies precisely in being able to place the general, the universal, within a narrative construct that is almost down-to-earth, in the sense that it deals with the most normal issues, like goofing off and odd jobs, friends and crushes, with great detail and care.
