Eugenio Colonnese (Fuscaldo, 3 September 1929 – Santo André, 8 August 2008) was an Italian-born Brazilian comic artist.^[1]

Son of a Brazilian mother (who is African, Portuguese and Indigenous) and Italian father, Colonnese moved to Argentina as a child, where he began his career in 1949, working for several Argentine magazines.^[2] He moved to Brazil in 1964. Three years later, he created the Estúdio D-Arte with Rodolfo Zalla, with whom he produced several comic books for several Brazilian publishers.^[3]

In 1967, Colonnese created his main characters: Mirza, a Mulher-Vampira ("Mirza, the Vampire Woman") and O Morto do Pântano ("The Swamp Dead"), which, although they have similarities, respectively, to Vampirella and Swamp Thing, were created some years before these characters.^[4] ^[5] Colonnese worked mainly with horror comics, but he also worked with other genres and did illustration for educational and advertising comics.^[6]

In 1985, he was awarded the Prêmio Angelo Agostini for Master of National Comics, an award that aims to honor artists who have dedicated themselves to Brazilian comics for at least 25 years.^[7]
