Franco

Franco, full name Franco Aureliani, is an American comics artist and writer known for all-ages adventure comics. Writing under the single name Franco, often in collaboration with artist Eduardo Garcia, he created the Dino-Mike series, an illustrated chapter-book line for young readers following a boy who can shrink dinosaurs down to pocket size to fight prehistoric threats loose in the modern world, including Dino-Mike and the T. Rex Attack, Dino-Mike and the Jurassic Portal, and Dino-Mike and the Museum Mayhem. Franco's work is aimed at early-elementary readers, combining comic-style illustration with fast-paced adventure storytelling built for reluctant and beginning readers.
