Biography

Growing up in Venice he developed a particular love for American cartoons and Disney comics, that, at the time, were published in the big format of the Topolino Giornale which was then printing now classic Floyd Gottfredson's stories. The word cartoon has various meanings based on several very different forms of Visual art and Illustration. Arthur Floyd Gottfredson ( May 5, 1905 &mdash July 22, 1986) was an American Cartoonist best known for his defining work In the Forties he opened an Animation Studio in Venice in which he produced his first works: some commercials, a short titled E poi venne il diluvio and another very good short, titled La piccola fiammiferaia (1953, based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl), distributed in Italy together with Robert Aldrich's Attack! (1956). The 1940s decade ran from 1940 to 1949 Events and trends The 1940s was a period between the radical 1930s and the conservative 1950s which also leads the period to be The bouncing ball animation (below consists of these 6 frames Hans Christian Andersen (ˈhanˀs ˈkʰʁæʂd̥jan ˈɑnɐsn̩ in Danish or simply H "The Little Match Girl" (Den Lille Pige med Svovlstikkerne is a Fairy tale by Danish Poet and Author Hans Christian Andersen Robert Aldrich (August 9 1918 – December 5 1983 was an American Film director, writer and producer, notable for such films as Kiss Me Deadly

Right after that he stopped working in animation for a while and dedicated wholly to creating Disney comics. When in 1956 Italian editors had no more new Floyd Gottfredson's stories to reprint, he was given the responsibility to continue Gottfredson's stories about Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse is a comic animal Cartoon character who has become an icon for The Walt Disney Company. Also influenced by Carl Barks in the late Fifties and up to about 1963 he wrote and penciled some of the best-known comic masterpieces of all time: stories like Topolino e la collana Chirikawa (1960) or The Flying Scot (1957) that have, later, been translated in many different languages throughout the world. Carl Barks ( March 27, 1901 &ndash August 25, 2000) was a famous Disney Studio illustrator and Comic book creator who The 1950s Decade refers to the years of 1950 to 1959 inclusive Many of these stories have their backgrounds in movies, for example Topolino nel favoloso regno di Shan Grillà (1961) is based upon Frank Capra's Lost Horizon (1937); not to talk about all the stories starring Snow White or the Seven Dwarfs, obviously based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Frank Russell Capra ( May 18, 1897 &ndash September 3, 1991) was an Academy Award winning Italian-American Film Lost Horizon is a 1937 film directed by Frank Capra starring Ronald Colman, Jane Wyatt and Sam Jaffe. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 American film based on the eponymous German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. Sometimes the exact opposite happened; the Italian movie Riusciranno i nostri eroi a ritrovare l'amico misteriosamente scomparso in Africa? (1968) is based on Scarpa's story Topolino e il Pippotarzan (1957).

Around 1963 Scarpa relaxed a bit and practically stopped writing his stories for 6 or 7 years, while still penciling stories written by other people, generally not up to the same high standards of his; an exception to this "rule" is the long Storia e Gloria della Dinastia dei Paperi saga, written by Guido Martina, and co-pencilled by Scarpa with Giovan Battista Carpi. Giovan Battista Carpi ( November 16 1927 - March 3 1999) was an Italian Comics artist Then, in the Seventies he went back to writing too, and kept doing it to the end, though he later moved to Spain and started working for a different publisher. This article is about the Decade 1970-1979 For the Year 1970 see 1970. Spain () or the Kingdom of Spain (Reino de España is a country located mostly in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. Among the last things he made while he was still in Italy, at the end of the Eighties and at beginning of the Nineties, there are the so called Paperolimpiadi (a long story about the 1988 Seoul Olympic games) and some wonderful strip stories, the same kind of stories that he loved when he was a child. The 1980s was the decade spanning from January 1 1980 to December 31 1989. The 1990s collectively refers to the years between and including 1990 and 1999 Seoul ( soʊl is the Capital and largest City of South Korea. The 1988 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIV Olympiad, were an International Multi-sport event staged in 1988 in One of these, Topolino e l'enigma di Brigaboom (1989) was partially based on Brigadoon (1954). Brigadoon is a musical with a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe.

In the meanwhile he has had time enough for some more animation, so we have Aihnoo degli Icebergs (1972), The Fourth King (1977) and a new TV series, The Adventures of Marco and Gina (Sopra i tetti di Venezia) (2001).

Mainly Scarpa worked on Disney comics, but many years ago he used to do something non-disney once in a while, so he did one (Rolf Kauka's) Lupo story and one (Hannah and Barbera's) Yogi Bear story. Rolf Kauka (born 9 April 1917 in Markranstädt near Leipzig; died 13 September 2000 in Thomasville Georgia) Yogi Bear is a fictional Anthropomorphic Bear who appears in Animated cartoons created by Hanna-Barbera Productions. In the 1950s he also drew some Angelino story, and Italian character.

Since 1988 some of his comic stories have been published in the USA by Gladstone publishing; it was the first time that this happened to an Italian Disney author. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Later, when Disney Comics took Gladstone's place, they published some more of his stories, and in 2003, the same happened with Gemstone Publishing, that is publishing his stories in the US at the moment.

He has influenced many younger creators (Giorgio Cavazzano was his inker during the Sixties) and many have attempted to imitate his style.
