Sergio Salma was born in Charleroi in 1960 as the son of Italian parents. After an artistic education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Mons, he made his first album for Michel Deligne: 'Faits Divers' with a script by Francesco Pittau in 1983. Then, he created the 'Marcobello' series in À Suivre and worked for several magazines for children. For Spirou, he scripted such series as 'Isaline et Jean-Luc' (art by Alec Séverin), 'Suzy' (art by Carine De Brab), 'Attention École' (art by Curd Ridel) and 'Petit Rigolo Illustré' (art by several artists, including Salma himself).
