About Makkox

Born 1965. Makkox is an Italian comics artist, editorial cartoonist, television presenter, editor-in-chief and caricaturist.

Makkox, pseudonym of Marco Dambrosio (born 30 August 1965) is an Italian satirist, cartoonist, illustrator and television creator. Career Born in Formia but raised in Gaeta, Dambrosio was raised artistically by an aunt who was a professor of scenography. His passion for drawing began as a child with Donald Duck comics, which continues to inspire his work today. At 8 he would spend his days sketching and drawing still-life sets prepared for him by his aunt.

Since May 2010 he has published a monthly magazine, Il Canemucco, with Coniglio Editore. Initially six issues were planned, but publication was definitively interrupted after the release of issue four. A collection of the best cartoons were printed in October 2011 by BAO Publishing with the title Post Coitum – Satire di un Tardo Impero (Post Coitum – Satires of a Late Empire). Also in 2011 two collections of stories from magazines by Makkox were published: Se muori siamo pari (If you die we're even) and Ladolescenza (Adolescence).

From 2013 to 2017 Dambrosio was a regular guest on the Rai 3 show Gazebo, of which he is also the creator. In September 2017 he created the LA7 show Propaganda Live, and is the main interlocutor of host Diego Bianchi.

He currently publishes cartoons with L'Espresso, Il Foglio and Il Post.

In 2020 he published his autobiography Nuove mappe del Paradiso (New maps of Paradise) with the publishing house People founded by Giuseppe Civati.
