History and profile

Il Monello was founded in 1933[1] by the Del Duca brothers and initially offered only works by Italian cartoonists, introducing several American comic series just in 1936.[2][3] The magazine was published weekly[4] and was based in Milan.[5]

Considered a mix between Corriere dei Piccoli and Jumbo,[6] Il Monello ceased publication in 1939[5] and many of its interrupted series continued on another Del Duca's magazine for kids, Intrepido.[2] After a 14-year hiatus, Il Monello resumed publication in 1953, achieving a significant commercial success thanks to adventure series such as Forza John and Rocky Rider and to several humorous comic strips, notably Pedrito el Drito and Superbone.[2][3] Since the early 1970s the magazine targeted a more mature audience and started including regular columns on sport, music and entertainment.[2] The weekly had a circulation of 231,992 copies in 1984.[7]

In 1989 it changed its name on Monello Okay!, then it finally closed in October 1990.[2]
