Fumetti Neri
''Fumetti neri'' (Italian for "black comics") is a subgenre of Italian comics, born in Italy with the creation of the ''Diabolik'' character (1962). Overview The "Fumetti neri" name comes from "cronaca nera", the Italian name for crime news. Among the inspirations of the genre were the film noir, the French ''feuilleton'' and Italian horror cinema. In a local market dominated by comics devoted to a young audience, the immediate commercial success of ''Diabolik'' revealed a niche of adult readers interested in adult and sometimes exploitive themes characterized by violence and sex references.Simone Castaldi. ''Drawn and Dangerous: Italian Comics of the 1970s and 1980s''. University Press of Mississippi, 2010. . The heroes of ''fumetti neri'' were more anti-hero or villain than traditional heroes, and Diabolik himself was very loosely based on the French'' Fantômas'' character. The subsequent main characters in these comics were all inspired by Diabolik and often had a K in thei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
