Description:
Milano: Max Bunker Press, 1989. Softcover. Illustrated by Magnus (Roberto Raviola). The set reprints the first thirty-six issues of the series which were originally published in the 1960s. Kriminal is considered one of the first noir comics to appear in Italy together with Diabolik; the light eroticism which transpired from some of the stories created censorship problems for the authors. The average condition for the set is very good to near fine with light foxing to edges and very moderate shelf wear; one issue has a pen marking on front cover. In the Italian language. A nice set.; 12 x 17 cm.
