La compagnia della forca
Una scalcagnata brigata di ventura tenta di sbarcare il lunario aggirandosi per i boschi e le città del Medioevo in cerca di ingaggi e monete d'oro. Capeggiata da Sir Percy di Montblanc e guidata dall'instancabile Capitan Golia, è composta da un improbabile gruppo di malconci il cuoco Messer Ciacco, il tuttofare Crusca; la bella e coraggiosa duchessina Annalisa di Montblanc, il veterano Ser Crumb - che conobbe Artù e la regina Ginevra - e il bardo Bertrando. Le rocambolesche avventure (e le polverose zuffe) della "Compagnia della Forca" in una saga epica, grottesca, parodistica ed esilarante.***********************

Having worked as an illustrator, he started his comics career and his association with Max Bunker in 1964 with the series Kriminal. He took the pseudonym Magnus from the Latin phrase "Magnus Pictor Fecit" ("A Great Painter Made It"). During the 1960s the duo became a mainstay of Italian comics, creating successful series such as Kriminal, Satanik, Dennis Cobb, Gesebel and Maxmagnus. In 1969 the duo released Alan Ford, their most successful series.
After leaving Alan Ford in 1975, Magnus started working for Renzo Barbieri's publishing house. He devoted several years to research and the result was a revolution in the erotic comics genre. In the 1970s works like Midnight of Fire, Ten Knights and a Wizard, Vendetta Macumba and The Living Skull came out. Magnus continued creating the long saga The Outlaws and in 1975 he started the Lo Sconosciuto series. In 1977 The Company of the Gallows series appeared.
In the 1980s he created two heroines: Milady 3000 and Necron's Frieda Boher, written by Ilaria Volpe. Milady is a science fiction series where Chinese culture, erotism and science-fiction. Necron instead was a pornographic series.
Inspired by eastern literature, he created The 110 Pills, Fiori di prugno in un vaso d'oro and The Enchanted Women. In 1989 Magnus began his last work, a graphic novel featuring the popular Italian western character Tex Willer. Magnus completed 223 exceedingly detailed plates in 7 years of work, for which he used original sources for any historical element. He died of cancer just few days before completing his work.

Strip nastaje u zreloj fazi Magnusa, nakon saradnje sa Bunkerom, pa crtački predstavlja zenit njegovog rada. Projekat je scenaristički odrađen sjajno. Na momente dosadan, no svakog trenutka beskrajno simpatičan. Srednjovekovni ambijent, sa minimalnom dozom fantastike, liči na Maksmagnusa, ali je pristup drugačiji jer narativ predstavlja jednu celinu. No, najbitnije pitanje svakog stripadžije predstavlja prevod, koliko se razlikuje od Vjesnikovih izdanja i koliko serijalu "šteti" srpski prevod. Po mom skromnom mišljenju, Aleksandar Marković je odradio sjajan posao. Prevod je prilagođen, ali i osavremenjen. To se najbolje može videti po prevodu članova družine: ser Persi od Monblana (sir Persi od Montblanka), kapetan Džinovski (kapetan Golijat Goljo), kuvar Ćako (kuvar Njupalo), njegov pomoćnik Tikvomir (Kruška), vojvotkinjica Analiza od Monblana (Analiza od Montblanka), ser Kramb (sir Krump) i bard Bertrand (Berto Manistra). Izdanje sadrži i mnoge tekstualne dodatke (predgovor i pogovor), kao i brdo skica i početnih nacrta likova. Ulazi u konkurenciju za jedno od najlepših izdanja ove godine. Preporuka za sve ljubitelje stripa.
