Although their ascendency points towards European ancestors, and although non-American heroes have been sharing their characteristics for a long time, among them Obelix, Diabolik and many manga characters, the cape and costume genre remains firmly grounded in the United States. It is thus unsurprising that, with a brief exception during the Second World War, super hero narratives should have taken place mostly in the United States (although Metropolis, Superman’s headquarter, was notoriously based on Toronto) or in outer space.

  • Diabolik(O) Da Cinquant'anni
    L'ANNIVERSARIO Diabolik(o) da cinquant'anni CULTURA 17-03-2012 Anche i ladri celebrano i compleanni. Si moltiplicano le iniziative per il cinquantesimo anniversario di Diabolik, il personaggio creato nel 1962 da Angela (1922-1987) e Luciana Giussani (1928-2001). Iniziative, in buona parte, giustificate: Diabolik è uno dei pochi personaggi italiani dei fumetti ad avere retto alla prova del tempo, con un successo che continua grazie anche alla capacità della casa editrice creata dalle due sorelle milanesi, la Astorina, di reclutare continuamente quanto di meglio il fumetto italiano offre in tema di sceneggiatori e di disegnatori. Forse, però, non tutte le celebrazioni mettono in luce quello che le Giussani hanno sempre ammesso. Diabolik è solo parzialmente una creazione originale. Nasce dall’incontro di Angela Giussani – secondo la storia, o la leggenda, avvenuto casualmente in un viaggio in treno, dove qualcuno aveva dimenticato un libro – con le storie di Fantômas, create da Marcel Allain (1885-1969) e Pierre Souvestre (1874-1914). Tutte le prime avventure di Diabolik riproducono una parallela storia di Fantômas, e anche trovate che al pubblico italiano sembrano geniali – la sostituzione di persona con cui Diabolik sfugge quasi miracolosamente alla ghigliottina, le impronte digitali di un morto lasciate sulle scene dei delitti grazie a un guanto fatto con la sua pelle – derivano letteralmente da avventure vissute cinquant'anni prima dal criminale francese creato da Allain e Souvestre. Con il tempo, Diabolik si è emancipato dall’essere una pura replica a fumetti di Fantômas, per quanto si debba dire che le trasposizioni di quest’ultimo nel mondo del fumetto avevano sempre lasciato a desiderare, tranne forse in America Latina dove però il criminale francese era diventato un personaggio totalmente diverso.

Transnational Fantômas: The Influence of Feuillade’s Series on International ... 1 Transnational Fantômas: The Influence of Feuillade’s Series on International Cinema during the 1910s Federico Pagello 1 The influence of Fantômas novels and films on global popular culture is widely acknowledged. From the 1915 Spanish musical Cine-fantomas to the 1960s Italian comic book series Diabolik, Kriminal and Satanik, from Turkish B-movies such as Fantoma Istanbulda Bulusalim (dir. Natuk Baytan, 1967) to Julio Cortazar’s anti-imperialist pamphlet Fantômas contra los vampiros multinacionales (1975), Pierre Souvestre and Marcel Allain’s original literary series have engendered uncountable translations, adaptations, imitations and plagiarisms that have spread the character’s fame worldwide since its first appearance in 1911. This process continues to the present day, an example being the publication of an Italian graphic novel titled Fantomax by Luigi Bernardi and Onofrio Catacchio (Bologna: Coconino Press, 2011).

    Gli anni Sessanta del nerissimo Diabolik: per la prima volta i fumetti parlano agli adulti più innovativi sono quelli creati nel 1964 dallo sceneggiatore Luciano Secchi (alias Max Bunker) e dal disegnatore Roberto Raviola (alias Magnus). I due sfruttano la scia del successo di Diabolik per una svolta ancor più nera: i loro eroi sono spietati e violenti, i richiami sessuali espliciti; di Massimiano Bucchi l'ambientazione non è l'immaginaria e asettica Clerville di Diabolik, ma una Londra livida e popolata di farabutti; la critica sociale spesso ilano, primi anni Sessanta.

  • Italian Adult Comics in Sweden in the 1980S and 1990S
    Italian Adult Comics in Sweden in the 1980s and 1990s IGOR TCHEHOFF Uppsala University Abstract The object of this paper is to present and analyze the main features of the extensive publication of Italian adult comics in Sweden in the 1980s and 1990s. Bibliographic and quantitative research has been conducted in order to supplement the bibliography of the Italian literature in Sweden compiled by Schwartz (2013). The results allowed for the conclusion that comics constituted a very significant share of translated Italian literature of the period, and the importance of individual publishers was higher in this segment. Making use of key concepts of Bourdieu, it is shown that adult comics in Sweden were assigned low cultural value compared to Italy. After a brief comparison of the situation of adult comics in both countries, regarding the role of mediators and the issue of cultural legitimacy, it is argued that this cultural transfer eventually led to a clash that culminated with the Freedom of the Press trial against Pox magazine. For a number of reasons, adult comics in Sweden have never achieved a sufficient level of cultural legitimacy and have remained on the margins of the cultural scene. The difficulties faced by Italian adult comics in Sweden are illustrated by a brief analysis of the reception of An Author in Search of Six Characters by Milo Manara (1992). Key words: Adult comics, Pierre Bourdieu, Fredric Wertham, Horst Schröder, Milo Manara, Epix, Pox, cultural value, cultural legitimacy, cultural mediators 1. Introductory remarks The period of 1980s and 1990s saw an extraordinary upswing of foreign adult comics in Sweden.
