Trinchetto

Trinchetto is an Italian Silver Age original, born in the pages of Braccio di Ferro #1 in 1963 — a landmark debut brought to life by creators Michele Gazzarri and Pierluigi Sangalli for Editoriale Metro. Over an impressive 27-year run stretching into 1990, this character accumulated nearly 200 catalogued appearances across Braccio di Ferro and Braccio di Ferro Oro, a testament to the enduring affection Italian comics readers had for this corner of the universe. Along the way, Trinchetto kept lively company with the likes of Timoteo, Poldo, Grissino, Strega Bacheca, and Mings, a colorful cast that speaks to the rich, character-packed world these stories inhabited. With two key collector issues to their name, Trinchetto is a rewarding discovery for anyone with a passion for European comics history and the vibrant Italian tradition that flourished alongside the American giants of the Silver Age.
