Mister-X (1967; Piero Vivarelli)

In 1964, the Italian comic strip Mister-X, by writer Cesare Melloncelli and drawing artist Giancarlo Tenenti, was published. Its content was far less violent than other popular fumetti, such as Kriminal or Satanik, as the character was more of a "gentleman thief".

Satanik (1968; Piero Vivarelli)

The creators of the popular fumetto Kriminal, Magnus and Max Bunker, also enjoyed success in another strip featuring an arch villain: Satanik. If Max Bunker was dissatisfied with the big-screen adaptation of Kriminal, one can only imagine his thoughts about this one, as Satanik was transferred even less faithfully to the movies.
