Biography
Salvatore Stizza was an italian artist, known under his pen name S. Totty.
The earliest work of Stizza that is known is when he completed the story "I naufraghi dell'Universo", a story created by Mac and Carlo Cedroni. This story was printed in the Italian magazine "Pioniere" issues 40 to 52, 1956. Based on the fact that the drawing style changes slightly in issue 49 Marco Pugacioff suggests that Stizza took over the art-work from this issue. Marco Pugacioff do mention that both Cedroni and Stizza worked for the "Atelier Barbato" at this time.
It is not known what Stizza worked on until he appears as an illustrator of Mandrake stories for Fratelli Spada in 1964. It's worth to note that one of his Mandrake story, "La bambola drogata", was publihed in the regular American "Mandrake the Magician" series on an edited presentation.
Late 1960s Stizza worked for the "Alberto Giolitti Studio" drawing stories like "Top Brass Target" and "Spear Force" for Fleetway Publications' "Battle Picture Library" series. He also made several stories with "Il grande Blek" in the period 1966 to 1970. In the 70s and 80s he worked for Edifumetto on more adults series such as: "Kondor", "Wallestein", "Zora la vampira", "La moschettiera" and others.
In the 80s he also made paintings, signed El Loco or Stizza el Loco.
