Fradiavolo

In the mid-1970s, Italian publisher Ediperiodici launched the 12-issue series Fradiavolo, a swashbuckling adventure comic centered on the legendary rogue and freedom fighter. The series is most closely associated with artist Pino Dangelico, whose dynamic visuals brought the historical escapades to life. Though brief, Fradiavolo stands as a spirited example of the Italian fumetti tradition, blending historical fiction with the bold, pulpy energy of its era.
