44 Magnum

A gritty Italian crime comic from Edifumetto, 44 Magnum launched in 1984 and ran for 11 issues. The series is most visually defined by the painted covers and interiors of artist Emanuele Taglietti, whose distinctive style captured the raw, hard-boiled atmosphere of its vigilante premise. It stands as a notable example of the Italian adult-oriented fumetti neri tradition, with Taglietti's lush, violent artwork giving the series a lasting cult reputation.
