Intrepido (Italian for "Intrepid"), also referred to as L'Intrepido, was a weekly comic magazine published by Casa Editrice Moderna between 1935 and 1998.
History and profile
The first issue was published on 23 February 1935.[1][2] It was the first comics magazine to publish only comics by Italian artists; a few foreign comics were introduced in 1936, before disappearing in 1939.[1][2] During the first phase in its history, the magazine got a large success with a series of comics inspired to 1800s feuilleton literature.[1][3] After an interruption in 1943 due to World War II, it resumed its publications on April 1945, then continuing, without interruption, until January 1998.[4] In the 1960s the magazine enjoyed higher levels of circulation reaching 700,000 copies.[5] During its lifetime the magazine produced more than 3,000 issues.[2]
