Andrea Castellan (b. Gorizia, Italy, 1967), known by his pen name “Casty,” made his Italian comics debut in 1994 as a scripter for Guido Silvestri’s Cattivik; in 1999, he began drawing for it as well. In 2003, Casty branched into Disney comics: first as a writer, then as an artist on Mickey Mouse adventures. Casty’s works, founded on the art style and continuity of Disney legends Romano Scarpa and Floyd Gottfredson, quickly made him a fan favorite.
