The character Captain Miki was created in 1951 by the Turin
trio EsseGesse, composed of Giovanni Sinchetto, Dario Guzzon and Pietro
Sartoris, for Edizioni Dardo. Since 1965 it has been drawn by Franco Bignotti,
Nicolino Del Principe, while the scripts are by Amilcare Medici. Miki is a
sixteen-year-old boy who, after enlisting in the Nevada Rangers, will have to
deal with various villains such as Magic Face, General Diaz and the magician
Kundra. At his side are the backers Doppio Rum and Dottor Salasso. Reprinted
several times by Dardo in different editions which are listed below in
