Marzolino Tarantola is the title character of an Italian comic series created by Bonvi.
The comics debuted in 1979, published in the magazines Il Corriere dei Piccoli and TV Sorrisi e Canzoni;[1][2] at the same time a series of animation shorts was produced for the RAI TV-series Supergulp!.[1][3] The stories were later collected in two books published by editor Rizzoli Junior.[1]
The comic consists in a zany parody of Albert Robida's Saturnin Farandoul.[1][4] It tells of Marzolino Tarantola, an adventurous, snob nobleman of British origins who takes part to the San Francisco-Paris car rally accompanied by the faithful butler Alfred and by Enrico l'Equipaggio (Henry the crew), a hulking speech-impaired man that solves any kind of problem.[2][5]
