Linus

Linus is the namesake and mascot of the pioneering Italian comics magazine launched in 1965 by Milano Libri Edizioni, taking its name from the beloved Peanuts character. The publication introduced Italian readers to international comic strips and became a landmark of European comics culture.

Few characters carry their Silver Age debut with such quiet distinction as Linus, who first graced the pages of Linus #1 in 1965 under the banner of Milano Libri Edizioni. An Italian publication with a run stretching into the late 1960s, this title brought Linus into a world shared by beloved company — Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Sally Brown, and Patty all keep him company across these pages. Whether in Linus or the charming Almanacco di Linus, this is a character whose presence in the catalog speaks to a distinct and collectible corner of Silver Age comics history well worth exploring.
