Giovanni Luigi Bonelli (December 22, 1908 in Milan – January 12, 2001 in Alessandria) was an Italian comic book author and publisher, best remembered as the co-creator of Tex Willer in 1948, together with artist Aurelio Galleppini.
Bonelli founded Casa Audace Editrice in 1940, later to be known as Sergio Bonelli Editore.
In 1948 he created Occhio Cupo and Tex Willer (both drawn by Galleppini). Tex Willer is among the most popular characters of Italian comics, with translations to numerous languages all around the world.
He wrote several early episodes of Zagor (issues #6–10, 13–14). Bonelli remained to supervise the production of Tex until his death. His son Sergio Bonelli (1932–2011) was also a comic book writer, as well as a publisher of comics.
