Cattivik


Cattivik was an Italian humoristic comic book character created by Bonvi.
The character first appeared in 1965. He later appeared in the magazine Tiramolla on 19 July 1970. Later, the development of the character was given to one of his assistants, Silver, because Bonvi was too busy with his other works. The character is a more or less declared parody of another successful series in Italy, Diabolik, created by the Giussani Sisters. The character quickly became popular in Italy, his anti-heroic nature is overblown to grotesque proportions and politically incorrect humour.
The two main characteristics of Cattivik are the pear-shaped form and an accent that could be both Northern-Italian or Apulian.
A magazine called Cattivik was published in Italy from 1989. It ceased to be published in December 2005.
