Pepito Magazine

A lighthearted French comic magazine from the early 1960s, Pepito ran for 28 issues under the Sage - Sagédition banner, featuring the energetic, cartoonish work of Italian creator Luciano Bottaro as both its primary writer and artist. While the magazine offered a mix of humor and adventure, it is best remembered for Bottaro’s playful, whimsical storytelling, which gave the series a distinct, cheerful personality throughout its five-year run. A charming, lesser-known entry in the European comic landscape of the era, Pepito stands as a showcase for Bottaro’s distinctive visual style before his later, more famous work.
