Il Santo (The Saint) was a gunfighter who drifted throughout
the West and the comic books series documents his many adventures, involvements
with other people’s problems which often lead to fisticuffs and gunplay. The
series was written by Italo Di Domenico and drawn by Roman Mangiarano (R.
Felmang). Many of the characters depicted in the stories were taken from the Euro-western
films popular at the time. Several of the covers were taken directly from
Spaghetti western posters.
The comic book series was published by Daniele Cerretti of Rome, Italy
from March 1969 to September 1978. A total of 76 issues were published and in
1972/1973 seven issues of Il Santo Super was released with longer story lines.
