Fumetti neri (Italian for "black comics") is a subgenre of Italian comics, born in Italy with the creation of the Diabolik character (1962).

Overview

The heroes of fumetti neri are more anti-hero or villain than traditional heroes. Diabolik itself was very loosely based on the French Fantômas character. The subsequent heroes in these comics were all inspired on Diabolik and often have a K in their names.^[1]

A partial list include:

Kriminal by Magnus and Max Bunker; more violent version of Diabolik.
Satanik by the same authors, a female version of Diabolik but with supernatural and horrific elements.
Sadik
Génius

In France, these comics were published in digest size editions by the likes of Elvifrance.

Legacy

It was in the scene set by the fumetti neri that fumetti d'autore/auteur comics—comics published in magazines such as linus (1965ff.), Il Sergente Kirk (July 1967 – December 1969), Eureka (November 1967 – November 1967), Il Mago (April 1972 – December 1980), Frigidaire (December 1980ff.)—found a favorable ground for development in Italy in the middle sixties.^[2]
