Mario Caria (1934-2001) was an Italian artist.

He was the most prolific artist who illustrated the covers of the main series published by Italian editor Fratelli Spada, namely "Mandrake" and "L’Uomo mascherato" (The Phantom). He created hundreds of covers that were most often drawn in an elegant and dynamic way, especially as far as action scenes are concerned. At the time, the global aspect of his works was outstanding modern.

Apart his cover illustrating production, Mario Caria also worked on "I Fratelli senza paura" (“Brothers without fear”), a western comics written by Emilio Fanelli and collaborated to various creation activities for Italian movies.
