Beskrivning
Which comic book characters with cinematic themes appeared in Italian comics of the 1930s and 1940s? How did cinema intersect with adventure and humorous comics? Was cinema merely a side dish or a true protagonist? This book attempts to answer these questions by analyzing the long and original history of the relationship between cinema and Italian comics. Indeed, between the 1930s and 1940s, a veritable publishing boom developed, with many comic book characters pursuing film careers. This book explores the reasons behind this remarkable cultural phenomenon.

"Bonura’s research remains valuable, and the scholar is becoming increasingly adept at bringing into dialogue two art forms that are rich in history and in often unsuspected, yet extremely fascinating, points of contact." - Nicolò Villani in Birdmen
