	Italian comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike american comics that were born as daily strips in newspapers, italian fumetto has its roots in periodicals aimed at younger readers and in the satirical publications of the 19th century.
		Since January 1, 1939 the publication of foreign comics is forbidden, and the italian material is required to follow a strict standard, exalting heroism, patriotism and the superiority of the italian race.
		The end of World War II marks a flur of activity in the italian comic press: many titles that were forced to suspend publication during the war come back to saturate the newsstands, joined by new publications often backed by improvised publishers looking for a quick buck.

		Comics were introduced into Italy a few years after their appearance in the United States: from 1908 onwards the weekly paper Corriere dei Piccoli ("Children's Courier") published the Sunday pages of Buster Brown, Happy Hooligan, The Newklyweds, Bringing Up Father, Little Nemo.
		The Italian branch of Marvel publishes the bulk of super-hero-type comics, that are now enjoing a small boom, with combined sales of appriximately 6,000,000 copies a year.
		Italian news-stands are much bigger than American ones, and offer a great variety of periodicals: besides comics (not less than 250 titles), magazines and newspapers, they display series of videocassettes, records and software.

	Comics
		Underground comics are noted for their lack of corporate control, which gives them the freedom to publish stories about literally anything, including subjects that many readers would consider shocking and offensive.
		These comics are often the produced by a single person, as opposed to mainstream comics, which are usually produced by a team including a writer, a penciler, an inker, a letterer, and an editor.
		The initial wave of underground comics was written by and for the 1960s counter-culture and psychedelic movement, and a number of independent comics of this era were humorous (and unquestionably adult-oriented) stories about hippies and rebels who enjoyed the freedom of drugs, while putting up with persecution by evil police officers.

	Belphégor
		That is, words in comics are first of all employed to represent and evoke feelings through the modulation of elements like their size, shape, colour, and disposition in space.
		In comics, then, text is subordinated to images; an evidence of this is the existence of comics without words: Masashi Tanaka's Gon in Japan, for instance, or Lewis Trondheim's La Mouche in France.
		However, Japanese comic authors usually employ cross-hatchings and chiaroscuros in a massive way to compensate the absence of colour; the mingling of these graphic techniques with colours created a disagreeable outcome, and the effect of both colours and cross-hatchings was spoiled.

		Another cultural merit of Linus is, besides the presence of many good comics, he publication of articles, historic notes and presentations of authors and characters, on the whole it's an "open review" for the Italian public.
		Other newspapers entirely dedicated to comics were born: among the recent ones Il Grifo and Corto Maltese (which ends in 1993), Il Mago, edited by Mondadori at the beginning of the 70s, which launched the Eternauta, destined to wander through the centuries.
		An example of this type of comics is La Storia d'Italia a fumetti by Enzo Biagi, published by Mondadori, in which the author succeeds to tell the great historical events with a new language.

		In terms of comics, I was influenced by the soap opera, geographically-focussed elements of Hernandez’s Heartbreak Soup from Love and Rockets and Moore’s sadly incomplete Big Numbers.
		We are considering a second printing, and with the Italian and Spanish versions to come, in addition to the on-line auction, I’m sure a substantial amount of money will be raised.

	Marco Barlotti's Introduc(k)tion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The core of my collection of Italian Disney Comics is however the interval 1957-1965: I read and re-read lots of times every issue published in those years and still now I almost know them by heart.
		Unlike many other children of my age, I always knew (from my father, I guess) that Disney comics were NOT written by a man called Walt Disney, but some by (unknown) American artists and some by (unknown) Italian ones.
		The whole thing has aroused on my side a renewed interest in Disney comics: I have since then started buying used back issues of "I classici di Walt Disney", carrying reprints of the italian stories in my "missing period" 1972-1988, and I feel again quite confident in the subject.

		She has an ex-Black Panther maid who looks exactly like Whoopi Goldberg and does much more than just clean up around the house, which is important since Julia's parents died in a car crash twenty some years ago, and her susceptible model sister is always traveling with shady characters who get her into trouble.
		The comics are written in Italian, but it is a testament to the artists and writers that much subtlety is revealed with only a very basic Italian vocabulary.

	Pop Thought -- Ferdinando Turco
		Topolino has ever been a must-read in the preferences of Italian kids, being produced since '50, and its reading is forwarded from father to son till today.
		The launch of Marvel Italia in the middle of the nineties, firstly generated a lot of confusion among the publishers that were loosing their gold mine, then forced them to differentiate their market choices and to shift over DC Comics, till then avoided nevertheless the Dark Knight success, and towards the independents.
		In this search of a good alternative, Italian publishers have subdivided the world comic market in "influence areas": Star Comics, having lost its Marvel series editors, recruited by Marvel Italia, aimed first to Image-Malibu and then steadily on the manga market, thanks to the fandom experience gained by four editors known as "Kappa boys".

	Uppers \| Thrilling fumetti of the 1960s - Italian Comics Part I Danger: Diabolik - not the film but the comic
		Till 1962 comics were considered children readings in Italy but in that year the whole country was shaken by the birth of a new character, who would prove his long lasting influence not only on Italian comics but also on Italian culture: Diabolik.
		Diabolik was created by two school teachers, the sisters Giussani who, maybe in reaction to the Italian conformist climate of those years, decided to create a character who had to be bold and brave, like the traditional 'good' heroes of the comics, but whose energy and courage would be completely devoted to crime.
