Buffalo Bill - L'Eroe Italiano della Prateria nn

"Buffalo Bill. The Italian Hero of the Prairie" is the title of a very famous series of issue booklets and comics for children published in Italy by Nerbini Publishing House in Florence between the 1930s and 1940s. The title of the series contains a curious historical 'falsification' due to the laws of the time: the expedient of Italianization. During the Fascist regime, censorship and autarkic directives strongly banned or limited the publication of stories with foreign heroes (especially Americans). To continue publishing Buffalo Bill's adventures, the Nerbini publisher strategically renamed him "The Italian Hero of the Prairie," modifying the character’s origins to pass him off as Italian and thus circumvent the prohibitions of the Ministry of Popular Culture. Complete series of 76 issues with binder. See extensive photographic material.
