Zerocalcare

Rech was born in Cortona, Italy, to an Italian father from Rome and a French mother. He was raised in France, then later Rome (Rebibbia-Ponte Mammolo area), where he graduated at the Lycée français Chateaubriand.{{Cite web|title=Zerocalcare|url=https://www.europecomics.com/author/zerocalcare/|access-date=2021-11-17|website=Europe Comics|language=en-US|archive-date=2021-11-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211117122335/https://www.europecomics.com/author/zerocalcare/|url-status=live}}

In 2003, at the age of 20, Rech began working as an illustrator for Liberazione, Carta, La Repubblica, and several other periodicals. At this time, he also wrote and drew a webcomic titled Safe Inside for Zuda Comics, the online division of DC Comics. In 2004 he created a comic about the G8 summit in Genoa, which had taken place three years before.{{cite web|url= https://issuu.com/ilcorsaro.info/docs/zerocalcare_genova|title= La nostra storia alla sbarra|last= Zerocalcare|website= issuu.com|access-date= May 16, 2017|archive-date= March 25, 2016|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160325051708/https://issuu.com/ilcorsaro.info/docs/zerocalcare_genova|url-status= live}}

Zerocalcare published his first graphic novel in October 2011 titled The Armadillo Prophecy, and in November created zerocalcare.it, a website where he published autobiographical comic strips.
