Dino Leonetti is best known for the 1970s erotic comic 'Maghella'. Born in Florence, Leonetti initially focused on a career in the cinema field, but switched to comics in the early 1960s with Italian stories starring 'Mandrake' and 'The Phantom'. He also made 'Fantasm', 'Verola' and 'Demoniak' and worked for the British market through the Giolitti studios ('Dick Turpin', 'Sgt. Trelawney', until 1965).
