Barbapapa's Monthly

This comic book was a monthly magazine edited by Vezio Melegari which presented in comics the successful cartoon series created by Annette Tison and Talus Taylor. In this version, the authors themselves produce the stories which in the issues are integrated with others created by Massimo Marconi and Massimo Dotta. Awarded in 1978 at the Bordighera International Humor Exhibition, organized by Cesare Perfetto, with one of the Palme d'Or Coppers, the monthly magazine was widely distributed with sales peaks of over 200,000 copies.

The magazine was published in 1976by AMO (Arnoldo Mondadori Editore) with issue #1 released in December of that year and it ended with issue #100 in March of 1985. It was published in Milan, Italy under the direction of Arrigo Polillo and Gaudenzio Capelli. Each issue contained 28-44 black and white pages with color covers.
