[edit] Italian Comics

It's good to see this page is growing and people are paying attention to it. Lvr 12:40, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, although it's still quite slow growth... =S
I've tried to read the Comics page on the Italian wiki, but it is not talking much about a specific italian comics history. I'll try to read again and see if there is something we could had here (e.g. the specific Walt Disney Italian story). Lvr 09:25, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
That could be added to the Disney comics article, perhaps.
I'm working on the history of italian comics. It will take a while, but hopefully it will be quite exaustive. I welcome suggestions and comments. Pcostabel 01:50, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alan Ford

Is "Alan Ford" really famous outside of Italy? I have never heard of him... BTW, I created this page, and the examples i included are (at least) famous among many western-world comic fans.

Alan Ford is very famous in countries of ex Yugoslavia (I could even go far enough to say that Alan Ford is the most popular comic book in exYugoslavia), but that's all I know. I assumed that it must be famous elsewhere as well (aside for the USA, of course). Now that I googled for "Alan Ford", it seems that most pages are either from Italy or from Croatia and Serbia. Don't know, perhaps it's not that famous in other regions, I just grew up believing it is. :) Feel free to remove it if you wish. --Dejan Cabrilo 02:14, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Ahh, I just wanted to know, actually seems too hard to remove information put in by others... I guess it's good, now that you have written a page about it at all...
Remove ????
I've never heard about this comics but if somebody thinks it is famous, even if it is only Italy and Croatia, it deserves to be mentionned on Wikipedia. This is a Worlwilde-Wikipedia. Just check stuff on US-wrestlers ! I don't think a page about this comic book is less interessant that these wrestlers pages... I check the Italian wikipedia, and this comic books is quite praised there. If I had to vote for deletion, i'll say Keep it Lvr 12:40, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hmmm, I guess that if the page would be too long and cumbersome, it could be considered, but for now, all we have managed to do is a small, not particularly exhaustive, list of some random comics, anyway.

[edit] Giuseppe Bergman

Sorry, It seems as if the "Giuseppe Bergman" series wasn't done in collaboration with Hugo Pratt, anyway. Manara wrote them, himself. The "HP" character in them is probably an hommage to Hugo, but that's all. My bad!

[edit] Reformat

I don't like that my former edits were edited out, because of missing links, since I think these examples are major important ones, anyway, I keep them here on the discussion page:

Some famous italian comics are

Dear 213.112.113.74, I really do appreciate what you said "I don't like that my former edits were edited out". This is a collaborative encyclopedia ! So if you don't want your edits to be edited out, you should not write on Wikipedia !
More seriously, the reasons why I reformatted this article were to be have in similar layout than then similar pages (Franco-Belgian comics, ...), but this is may be reviewed, if this list is limited to only the historically signifiant comics.

Well, I understand, I put these authors back in the list, anyway.

[edit] Morgan

If Morgan a realy important Italian Comic book, or is it just another Hogo Pratt comics (and his last one). There is no page for this comics. If it is that important, it should deserve at least its own page. I propose to remove it from the list. Lvr 09:26, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Are there all famous ?

I wonder if all the authors listed here are really "famous". Could you check and keep only the important ones with a real importance in the Italian comics history. The other ones should be moved to List_of_comic_creators#Italy (if there aren't already). Idem for the "famous" comic books. Lvr 14:13, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

All the authors I added are famous in my opinion. The list of all italian artists would fill several pages. Pcostabel 01:09, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
