Il re del calcio

In the mid-1990s, Italian publisher Ediperiodici launched this compact five-issue series, Il re del calcio, a soccer-themed comic that channels the era's passion for the sport into a self-contained narrative. Though it ran only from 1996 to 1997, the series stands as a niche artifact of Italian comics, capturing the cultural fervor around football with energetic art and storytelling. Its brevity and focused run make it a curious footnote for collectors of international sports comics.
