Michele Medda

Michele Medda, born 7 December 1962 in Cagliari, Sardinia, is an Italian comics writer best known as the co-creator of the long-running science-fiction series *Nathan Never*. Entering the industry in the late 1980s, Medda joined forces with fellow writers Antonio Serra and Bepi Vigna in 1991 to launch *Nathan Never* for Sergio Bonelli Editore, a futuristic noir series that became a flagship title. He later co-created the spin-off *Legs Weaver* (1995–2005), set in the same universe. Medda’s work is marked by a blend of hard-boiled detective storytelling and speculative fiction, often collaborating with artists like Claudio Castellini and Sergio Giardo. Beyond his signature creation, he has written for other major Bonelli properties, including *Tex Willer*, *Dylan Dog*, and *Nick Raider*. Over a career spanning from 1989 to 2025, Medda has been credited as writer on 86 issues, with his most prolific contributions to *Nathan Never* and its revival *Nathan Never Rinascita*, as well as *Dylan Dog* and *Tex*. His legacy is tied to expanding Italian science fiction in comics, and he has received industry recognition for his sustained work, though specific awards are not detailed in available sources.
