Diabolik, a long-running Italian comic series, remains unknown in the Western World despite its popularity and adaptations into other media. Created by sisters Angela and Luciana Giussani, Diabolik is a master thief with a Robin Hood-esque philosophy and an arsenal of gadgets. Diabolik's crossover potential is endless, with a natural cool factor that can appeal to audiences worldwide, similar to James Bond and Batman.
