Ginko: prima di Diabolik | Angela Giussani, Luciana Giussani, Tito Faraci

For years nothing has been known about the inspector's past. Finally SAndrone Dazieri, Tito Faraci and Mario Gomboli reconstruct, with Giuseppe Palumbo, the life of Ginko before his meeting with the king of terror.When the book dedicated to Ginko's past was designed, Astorina, reminiscent of Eva Kant's success: when Diabolik was not there, he called again Tito Faraci (eclectic screenwriter, capable of going from "Mickey" to "Diabolik") and Sandrone Dazieri (money order writer: just mention the Gorilla series). That the drawings were always to be entrusted to the already expert Giuseppe Palumbo was inevitable. For the prologue and the epilogue of the episode, which traditionally had to be done by a hand "different" from the body of the story, the choice fell on Pierluigi Cerveglieri, a proven author of several albums in the classic series. Five years later L'ombra della luna was created, a triptych of episodes set in the past of the three main characters of the diabolika saga. In the case of Mario Gomboli (historical subject writer of the King of Terror and director of the Astorina Publishing House) he joined Tito Faraci and Giuseppe Palumbo to tell an anecdote of Ginko's past which enriched and integrated what was narrated in Ginko: before Diabolik.
