Alter Linus

Alter Linus, published by Milano Libri Edizioni from 1974 to 1977, was a landmark Italian comic magazine that served as a sophisticated, adult-oriented companion to its famous predecessor, Linus. Over its 36-issue run, it showcased an eclectic mix of international and domestic talent, blending avant-garde experimentation with sharp social commentary. Associated with editors and artists like Oreste del Buono and Guido Crepax, the series helped define the era's countercultural comics scene in Italy, championing a more literary and artistic approach to the medium.
