Cattivik is a successful italian humoristic comic book character created by Bonvi (Franco Bonvicini). The character first appeared in the magazine "Tiramolla" on 19 July 1970. Later, the development of the character was given to one of his assistants, Silver (creator of Lupo Alberto, another successful comic strip in Italy), because Bonvi was too busy with his other works (among them, the famous Sturmtruppen). The character is a more or less declared parody of another successful series in Italy, Diabolik, created by the Giussani Sisters. The character quickly became popular in Italy because of his anti-heroic nature (he is a burglar and general criminal, lives in sewers, takes showers with toxic waste and hates everything "good natured") and politically incorrect humour ( fart and burp jokes, italian politicians caricatures and social commentary). The two main characteristics of Cattivik are the pear-shaped form and the North-Italian accent (he omits the final vowels of most words). ...more on Wikipedia about "Cattivik"

Druuna is a popular erotic science fiction and fantasy comic book character created by Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri, featured prominently in Metal Hurlant and Heavy Metal magazines. Druuna is often the main character in Serpieri's works, starring in seven/eight volumes (depending on the country) of the Morbus Gravis series between 1985 and 2003: Morbus Gravis, Morbus Gravis 2: Druuna, Creatura, Carnivora, Mandragora, Aphrodisia, The Forgotten Planet and Clone. The series is noteworthy for featuring perhaps the most realistic-looking and explicit content in terms of both graphic violence and sex in comics. Creatura, in fact, features near-totally explicit sexual penetration, and the three subsequent books feature totally uncensored penetration, but the series returned to a non-explicit depiction of penetration in such scenes with The Forgotten Planet. The main character is also featured in Serpieri's numerous sketchbooks, such as Obsession, Druuna X, Druuna X 2, Croquis, Serpieri Sketchbook, Serpieri Sketchbook 2 and The Sweet Smell of Woman. These books were very successful, selling more than a million copies in twelve languages. Serpieri's depiction of well-endowed heroines like Druuna has earned him the undisputed title of the "Master of the Ass". ...more on Wikipedia about "Druuna"

The most popular Italian comics have been translated into many languages. The term fumetto (literally little puff of smoke) refers to the balloon that contains the dialogs. As such, it is a more appropriate nomenclature than the American comics which implies funny stories, and precisely pinpoints what makes comics such an unique artform: the seamless integration of images and words. ...more on Wikipedia about "Italian comics"
