Walter Molino

[1] In 1936 he started working for the satirical magazine Bertoldo, and in 1938 he debuted as a comic artist with the series Virus, il mago della Foresta Morta, with texts of Federico Pedrocchi.

[1] Since 1941 Molino became the official cover-illustrator of La Domenica del Corriere, succeeding to Achille Beltrame.

[1][2] He also collaborated with the women's magazine Grand Hotel, as cover-illustrator and artist of "cineromanzi", i.e. comic stories, generally of romantic or melodramatic genre, whose comic characters resembled famous film actors.

[1][2] In 2020, his illustration of a speculative "Singoletta" vehicle from a December 1962 article in La Domenica del Corriere went viral due to it being seen as a solution for social distancing.

Erroneously, it's frequently cited as a depiction of the year 2022 when the original illustration gives no exact date.
