Gustavo Garian

Gustavo Garian has been part of Italian comics history since the very beginning — debuting in Diabolik #1 in 1962, the Silver Age launch issue that started it all for Astorina's legendary crime series, and that debut alone earns collector-significant key status. Over a remarkable six decades of publication, Garian has kept extraordinary company, sharing pages with the master thief Diabolik himself, the relentless Ispettore Ginko, and the iconic Eva Kant across the flagship Diabolik series and its companion titles Diabolik - Le origini del mito and Diabolik R. With 39 catalogued appearances spanning from 1962 all the way to 2022, he's a recurring presence woven into the fabric of one of Italy's most enduring comics universes. For any serious collector of European comics, a character present at the very birth of Diabolik — and still appearing sixty years on — is absolutely worth tracking down.
