One of the most durable super-villain characters in Italian fumetto was Kriminal, created by Magnus and Max Bunker (also the creators of Satanik). Kriminal features an English master thief named Anthony Logan, who dons a black-and-gold costume with a skeletal mask. He is helped by a female companion (Lola Hudson), and is dogged by an Inspector (Milton of Scotland Yard). Apparently, Max Bunker was displeased with writer-director Umberto Lenzi’s screen adaptation, as a much younger actor played the character than depicted in the fumetto, but the source material’s sadistic tone was watered down to a more "lighthearted" approach.
