Kriminal

Published by Les editions de poche, Kriminal ran for nine issues from 1966 to 1967, a concise but potent burst of European crime comics. The series is most associated with the dark, stylish artwork of Magnus, whose shadow-drenched panels defined the look of this pulp-noir antihero. A key entry in the Italian fumetti neri tradition, it helped establish the genre's blend of brutal action and psychological tension, influencing the look of continental crime comics for decades.
