Ultimissime della Nera

The Italian horror anthology Ultimissime della Nera ran for 32 issues from 1988 to 1995 under Ediperiodici, a publisher known for its transgressive, adult-oriented fumetti. Each issue delivered a collection of grim, sensationalized crime and horror stories, often drawn from real-life news or urban legend, presented in a raw, exploitative style. The series is most associated with writer and artist Gianfranco "Gian" Bortolotti, whose lurid, detailed artwork and unflinching narratives defined the book's gritty identity. It stands as a key artifact of Italy's late-20th-century "nero" comic boom, capturing a dark, tabloid-fueled fascination with the macabre.
