This is Roberto Raviola, the most famous Italian comic book artist. His pen name was Magnus, after a Latin tag he once saw, Magnus pintor fecit. He is the creator of Necron, a pornographic strip about a robot zombie (or zombie robot), which is rather less interesting than that description makes it sound. Its most intriguing aspect is perhaps the effort to which Magnus went to avoid plagiarism charges: in one episode of blessed memory, Necron battles against (and seduces? I can't quite remember) a giant gorilla with the subtly altered name of Kring-Krong. This is a well-designed tribute site.
