Kriminal

Kriminal is the principal character of Italian noir comics (fumetto nero). He was created August 1964 by Max Bunker (pseudonym of writer Luciano Secchi) and Magnus (pseudonym of artist Roberto Raviola). They first collaborated on Kriminal, and would go on to work together on Satanik, Dennis Cobb - Agente SS018, Gesebel, Maxmagnus and Alan Ford. Later issues of the series are scripted by Erasmo Buzzacchi, with different artists taking their turn on the series. All of them, however, imitated the original style. The majority of covers are done by Luigi Corteggi. The first issue is titled Il re del delitto (The King of Crime).
