Saw this on
ebay and thought of this thread. Do they still publish AMOK in Italy?
This is the original cover art for AMOK #13 (The Crystal Sphere) , an Italian Golden Age(circa late 1940's) comic book reprinting the adventures of hero AMOK, a European version of the Phantom by Tony Chan. AMOK may have been started due to the embargo of American strips in Occupied Europe, but was a very popular character in his own right and his adventures were printed (and reprinted) for decades! Tony Chan (AKA Antonio Canale) was a very popular Italian artist working in the "noir" style and did much work for American publisher St. John in "Authentic Police Cases".
