Draculino

A darkly playful Italian horror-comedy series from Edifumetto, Draculino ran for 27 issues between 1972 and 1975, bringing a childlike, mischievous twist to the classic vampire mythos. The series is most consistently defined by the lively, expressive artwork of Studio Rosi, whose dynamic style gave the young vampire protagonist a distinct, fang-filled charm. As a product of the Italian fumetti neri tradition, it stands out for blending supernatural scares with a lighthearted, almost slapstick tone, offering a unique counterpoint to the era's more gruesome horror comics.
