Intermezzo - Tarzan in Italy

swashbuckling novels (1934)

I said, last post, that Tarzan comics Harold Foster on The Bold 1935, is not his first appearance in Italy.

The daily strips of 1929 appear in 1934, quite loudly, a publication for children, or the series of fiction novels hood sword and published by Mondadori, from number 24:

Note covers Boccasile Gino, whose guilty Oblivion has recently tried to repair Paola Biribanti
with a nice essay, published by Castelvecchi:



But it's not the great Gino, we're talking about. In the second and third cover, glossy white, is beautifully printed, in fact, the Foster Tarzan:

La pubblicazione del primo episodio continua ininterrotta, sui Romanzi di cappa e spada , fino al n. 43 del 14 luglio 1935. Ecco, in ordine sparso, alcune altre splendide copertine di Boccasile, con i relativi interni “fosteriani”:







Harold Foster, as I said earlier, in 1929, is "born" - talking about comics - already fully mature:



Mondadori Publication of the 1934/35 makes it full justice: indeed, it is the unique (apart from the original antique newspapers!) not to trim a few millimeters of the base, which also contain the copyright. Here is a comparison of the first strip published by Mondadori and the corresponding prima ristampa americana, apparsa sul Tarzan Book n° 1 del 1929:

I romanzi di cappa e spada n. 24


Tarzan Book n° 1



Dopo il 1934/35, nessuno vedrà più queste strisce, a quanto ne so io, nella loro versione filologicamente corretta! Tutte le riedizioni, infatti (peraltro tipograficamente discutibili) sono tributarie dell’edizione in volumetto del 1929.
