European Western Comic Books ~ L’Ardimentoso


 LArdimentoso
THE ARGENTIOUS (Prince Valentino - Gordon - Rip Kirby - Giorgio Ventura - Secret Agent X 9)


This was a collective magazine. After the experience of Viva! the publisher presented a mixed book with the classic heroes of American comics: Giorgio Ventura (GV) (Brick Bradford) by Clarence Gray, Principe Valentino (PV) (Prince Valiant) by Hal Foster, Gordon (GO) by Dan Barry, Alex Raymond's Rip Kirby (RK) and Mel Graff's Secret Agent X-9 (X9). In some issues Ezio Ferraro kept a column and posted on the comic. The series then becomes Superalbo L’Ardimentoso Gordon. Covers were by Paolo Piffarerio (Pif), Franco Donatelli (Frank Donat).

It was first published in 1960 with issue #1 released on 1/7/1960 and ended with #14 on 1/16/1961. It was published by ECG in Milan, Italy under the direction of Andrea Corno with each issue containing 32 black and white pages with color covers
