Clod was also present on the German market with 'Gangster Story' in Zack magazine in 1980. At the same time, he created the 'Nicoletta' series, scripted by Claudio Nizzi, in Il Giornalino. He intensified his production for Vaillant publishers (of Pif Gadget) in 1983, doing illustration work for their several magazines. From 1992 on, he cooperated with Bonvi again, this time on 'Sturmtruppen'. From 1998, Clod continued the series on his own after the premature death of its creator.
