About the series
In 1951, Italian publisher Tomasina launched Albo "Scugnizzo" [1951] Un Garibaldino nel Far West, a nine-issue series that transplanted a young Italian scugnizzo—a street-smart Neapolitan urchin—into the American Wild West. Blending the spirit of Garibaldi's revolutionary adventures with the frontier tropes of cowboys and outlaws, the series offered a uniquely Italian take on the Western genre. Though creator credits are sparse, it stands as a curious artifact of early 1950s Italian comics, reflecting the era's fascination with both historical heroes and the mythic American landscape.
