European Western Comics - Albi del Secolo

Albi del Secolo

(Characters of the Century)

A comic book series collection that presents stories of various kinds, from the western to the detective story, usually polished by other editions (from the comic books of Atlas or Charlton to the tables of Annibale Casabianca) especially by Massimo Liorni (Lima) and other anonymous authors who signed their stories like Al-Gio or Chapal. From #4 (July 10,1962) to #10 (December 20, 1962) also publishes Johnny Azzardo JOHNNY (Johnny Hazard) by Frank Robbins. From #22 (November 13, 1963) the graphics on the cover changes: the drawn header disappears and is written in typeface and the title of the opening episode is emphasized. From #26 (February 28, 1964) the series continues by expanding the format and publishing Pantera Blonde with double numbering (26 = 1).

The series was published in 1962 by Giusepp Vita Publishing in Rome, Italy from #1 on May 25, 1962 to #25 on December 28, 1963. Each issue contained 64 black and white pages with color covers.
