Dell'Otto got his start at the European division of Marvel and eventually made his way to Marvel USA and DC Comics. He is well known for his work on the miniseries Secret War, written by Brian Michael Bendis (2004) and his fantastic work on the covers of Annihilation (2006) consecrated him as a cover specialist in the industry. Some of the other series he has worked on include X- Force: Sex and Violence (2009), New Avengers Annual (2011), Avenging Spider-Man (2012) and Spider-Man Family Business (2013).

In addition to his stunning covers for Annihilation, Dell’Otto has created covers for miniseries such as Secret Invasion, Amazing Spider-Man: Ends of the Earth, Spider-Man: Spider Island, Secret Wars, Spider-Man: Clone Conspiracy, Spider-Verse, Venom, Dark Knight Returns: Master Race and DC Metal. He has upcoming variant covers for Wolverine #1 and The Amazing Spider-Man #58 both published by Marvel Comics.

Dell'Otto is considered one of the most important comic book artists in the world and continues his collaboration with Marvel and DC, drawing panels and covers for all of their best-known superheroes from Batman to Spider-Man.
