| Italian landscape in 3 series from 1946 - 1947 published by Edizioni Stellissima, Milan,featuring a character adapted from Italian cinema. Crash Ryan notes:- "I found this information about Za-La-Mort in a 2011 dissertation for Durham University by Joseph Albert North: "While Emilio Ghione wrote, directed and starred in films of all genres, he was famous for the series of action-adventure films based around his most famous creation, Za La Mort, who characterized his personality as an actor. Za La Mort was a mysterious French apache, a gentleman-thief, an 'honest' outlaw, master of disguise and a fearless street fighter(...)During the gradual disintegration of the Italian film industry in the twenties, Ghione began to write serialized novels, which centered around the adventures of Za La Mort and, in part, re-elaborated films which had been badly censored or cancelled(...)After Ghione's early death in 1930, Za La Mort was briefly revived in a film and in two fumetti series, both of which were produced in 1946-1947, but this revival failed to garner much interest, and the figure of Za La Mort died out completely in Italian popular culture." | |
