| | uBC: Dark Horse - Interview with Alfredo Castelli |
 | | A few comics are published in book-form (among them, the works of the Italian cartoonists Crepax, Manara and Pratt, and the translations of the French "album" "Asterix", "Lucky Luke", "Tintin") are sold exclusively in bookshops; sales seldom exceed 10,000 copies. |
 | | This is one of the reasons why Bonelli comics (and Italian comics in general) are usually associated with their writer-creator ("Diabolik by Angela and Luciana Giussani") more than their artists. |
 | | Giancarlo Alessandrini was the first MM artist; I choose to publish only his works in the Dark Horse books; this, to alleviate the shock new readers might feel when presented with stories by different hands (artists). |
