Background

One of the most enduring characters in the history of Italian comics, Pedrito el Drito was created by Terenghi in 1952, making his first appearances as a naive cowboy in the appendix to comic books Forza John! and Rocky Rider.[1][2] Promoted sheriff, in 1953 his stories started being regularly published on the comic magazines Il Monello and Intrepido.[1] In the 1990s the comic series was published in Corriere dei Piccoli and Lupo Alberto.[1] In spite of its western setting, the series was built as a humorous family saga based on the typical characters of an aggressive wife and a henpecked husband.[1]
