  • Giancarlo Soldi – Diabolik sono io AKA Diabolik Is Me (2019)

    2011-2020DocumentaryGiancarlo SoldiItaly

    Synopsis:
    ‘Giancarlo Soldi’s docufilm […] focuses on the mysterious disappearance of the first designer to give a face to the famous Italian comic book hero.
    Despite being the first designer to give Diabolik a face (the hero of the famous 1962 comic book created by Angela and Luciana Giussani) the man himself has no face of his own. The person behind the very first Diabolik comic book (entitled The King of Terror) is in fact shrouded in mystery, a bit like the mystery that surrounds the character he designed, clad in a pair of black tights. And so, with his captivating docufilm Diabolik sono io, Giancarlo Soldi flits between reality and fantasy, archival footage, interviews and imaginary reconstructions, as a means of deliberating on what might have come of Angelo Zarcone, who quite literally disappeared into thin air after delivering the initial boards for the first issue of what would go on to become a leading Italian noir comic.Read More »
