THE COMPANY OF THE GALLOWS
1977


The Company of the Gallows is a jumble of shabby mercenary during the era of Lorenzo the Magnificent, almost Renaissance, when Dracula the Voivode reigned in Transylvania and England fought the war of the Roses.
Magnus experiences a kind of complex narrative, which interweaves multiple stories recounted in great detail.
It is the Odyssey and the diaspora of a gang of seven soldiers of fortune engaged in a hard struggle against the forces of the Dark Lord, while in desperate search of the final reunion. The most striking aspect is the invention of dozens of minor characters different from one another, occupying the scenes with independent events.
The saga developed in 18 episodes, debuted in April 1977 in the format pocket edited by GEIS of Renzo Barbieri and ended early in July 1979 with a final double episode called the showdown.
