54 Fulmine's juttingjaw was a reference to the popular and propagandistic physiognomic iconography of Benito Mussolini.Pietro Favari, Le nuvole parlanti: un secolo di fumetti tra arte e mass media, 1996, p. 214 Dick Fulmine achieved a great popularity in the Fascist era, and in reason of its success the comic underwent several interventions by the MinCulPop (the Fascist Ministry of Popular Culture) in order to make his stories more nationalistic and moral. In 1942, MinCulPop even forced authors to change the facial traits of the title character in order to make him more handsome, an event that was justified in the comics telling that the character had been subjected to plastic surgery.

While meditating in 1980 Crumb conceived of a magazine with a lowbrow aesthetic inspired by punk zines, Mad, and men's magazines of the 1940s and 1950s. From 1981 Crumb edited the first eight issues of the twenty-eight issue run of Weirdo, published by Last Gasp; his contributions and tastes determined the contents of the later issues as well, edited by Peter Bagge until 16, and Aline for the remainder of the run. The magazine featured cartoonists new and old, and had a mixed response; Art Spiegelman, who co-edited the slicker Raw, called it a "piece of shit", and Crumb's fumetti was so unpopular that it has never appeared in Crumb collections.

Prior to his officially first credited film as a director, Queen of the Seas, Lenzi directed a film in Greece in 1958 titled Mia Italida stin Ellada, or Vacanze ad Atene, which was never released. Lenzi's films of the 1960s revolved around popular genres of their respective time periods. In the early 1960s, Lenzi directed many adventure films including two features about Robin Hood (The Triumph of Robin Hood and The Invincible Masked Rider) and two films about Sandokan (Sandokan the Great (1963) and Pirates of Malaysia (1964)). By 1965, Lenzi began directing European spy films, such as 008: Operation Exterminate, followed by Super Seven Calling Cairo and The Spy Who Loved Flowers, and even adapted the fumetti neri comic character Kriminal to the screen.

Shocked yet gradually delighted, Carmen welcomes this change, but she starts suspecting there is something sinister behind it when Carlos's second personality suffers brief but dangerous episodes of psychosis. She enlists the aid of Pepe and his hypnotism teacher, odontologist Dr. Fumetti (Pou), and together discover the truth: Carlos had sleeping mediumnic abilities, and the failed hypnosis act caused a dead man's soul to forge a spiritual link with him, possessing him at several moments. After investigating further, Carmen and Pepe eventually find out the identity of the dead man, a dancing prodigy named Tito (Gutiérrez) who suffered from schizophrenia and murdered his own mother before committing suicide 15 years before. His identity is further proved in a club, in which Carlos dances spectacularly with Carmen to Steve Miller Band's "Abracadabra" song.

The comic series was created on the heels of the success of fumetti neri such as Diabolik and Kriminal by Nino Cannata as writer and by "Gian" (generally identified as Gianni Fagioli, but sometimes indicated as Gianni Valente by other sources) as artist. It featured the violent adventures of a black-dressed criminal, Sadik, of his lover Loona, and of their main antagonist, the FBI agent Eddie Castle, inspired for his graphics rendering to French actor Eddie Constantine. The comic book debuted on March 1965, and it got an immediate success, selling over 100,000 copies. After the second issue, the editor Nino Del Buono, scared because of the censorship and the judicial seizure hitting similar magazines decided to suspend publication and eventually sold the magazine to Edizioni Antares.

Some of the series that followed Tex Willer were Zagor (1961), a tomahawk-wielding hero who protects the imaginary Darkwood forest in eastern US, Comandante Mark (1966), featuring a soldier in the American independence war, and more recently Mister No (1975), about an American pilot who operates a small tourist flying agency in the Amazonian jungle, and Martin Mystère (1982), featuring an anthropologist/archaeologist/art historian who investigates paranormal phenomena and archaeological mysteries. Another popular series, Diabolik featuring a criminal mastermind, has been published since the 1960s, and influenced later series such as Kriminal and Satanik (see Fumetti neri). The latter was created in the 1960s by one of the most famous duos of comics history, Magnus & Bunker, whose most outstanding creation, however, is the humorous espionage series Alan Ford (1969). Another famous author of humouristic strips is Franco Bonvicini, whose Sturmtruppen met wide success abroad.
