History and profile

Lanciostory was created in 1975[1] by Editrice Lancio to target the adult audience interested in comics who had marked the contemporary success of comics magazines such as Il Monello and Intrepido. The first issue, #0, was released in April 1975 attached to the Lancio-edited fotoromanzi magazine Le Avventure di Jacques Douglas.[2]

The magazine initially mainly published works by South-American and especially Argentine authors, including Carlos Trillo, Juan Giménez, Enrique Breccia, Francisco Solano López, Ernesto García Seijas, Enrique Alcatena, Eduardo Mazzitelli, Juan Zanotto. Italian collaborators included Franco Saudelli, Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri and Massimo Rotundo. From the late 1970s Lanciostory started publishing Franco-Belgian comics.[2][3]

Notable series which were introduced in the magazine include John Doe and Dago.[2]

Each issue consists of about 6-7 episodic comics, plus several columns about cinema, sport and entertainment.[2]
